The pin-striped tit-babbler (Mixornis gularis), also known as the yellow-breasted babbler, is a species of bird in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae that is found in South and Southeast Asia.

The pin-striped tit-babbler was formerly placed in the genus Macronus but based on the results of a large molecular phylogenetic study published in 2019, the species was moved to the genus Mixornis that had been introduced in 1842 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek mixis meaning "mixed" or "mingling" with ornis meaning "bird". The specific epithet gularis is Modern Latin meaning "-throated". The pin-striped tit-babbler belongs within a clade that includes the genera Dumetia and Timalia.
The species has also been split following a study by Nigel Collar to distinguish the morphologically distinct Bornean and Javan populations, which have since been renamed the bold-striped tit-babbler (Mixornis bornensis), from the rest of the pin... Wikipedia →

It is the 2nd most-seen of the 166 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and October
In those months about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Pin-striped Tit-Babbler in Gunung Leuser National Park on a given day, against about 20% in January, April–May and September, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pin-striped Tit-Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 18
Of the 18 parks where we can rate Pin-striped Tit-Babbler sightings, Gunung Leuser National Park ranks 6th at about 40%. The best odds are in Cuc Phuong National Park (Vietnam, about 60%), Khao Luang National Park (Thailand, about 60%) and Kaeng Krachan National Park (Thailand, about 50%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pin-striped Tit-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Gunung Leuser National Park (123 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.
