The yellow-streaked greenbul or yellow-streaked bulbul (Phyllastrephus flavostriatus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in eastern and south-eastern Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The yellow-streaked greenbul was originally described in the genus Andropadus. Additionally, some authorities have considered Sharpe's greenbul to also be a subspecies of the yellow-streaked greenbul. Alternate names for the yellow-streaked greenbul include the yellow-streaked bulbul and yellow-bellied greenbul.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-streaked Bulbul sighting in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 219th most-seen of the 250 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-streaked Bulbul in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–June and August–November, the lowest months. Those are among Gorongosa National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in January. March and December–January have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-streaked Bulbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Yellow-streaked Bulbul sightings, Gorongosa National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda, about 20%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-streaked Bulbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Gorongosa National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
