The black-chinned babbler (Cyanoderma pyrrhops) is a babbler species in the family Timaliidae. It occurs in the foothills of the Himalayas from the Murree Hills in Pakistan to eastern Nepal. It inhabits subtropical and temperate forest at 245–2,750 m (804–9,022 ft) altitudes. It is terrestrial. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
It is biscuit-coloured, has a black chin and lores and a buffy grey crown. It is 10 cm (3.9 in) long and weighs 8–12 g (0.28–0.42 oz). It is omnivorous. Stachyris pyrrhops was the scientific name proposed by Edward Blyth in 1844 who described a greenish olivaceous babbler with a black chin and black lores from Nepal.
It was later placed in the genus Stachyridopsis. BirdLife International (2019). "Black-chinned Babbler Cyanoderma pyrrhops". Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Babbler sighting in Jim Corbett National Park on a given day, based on 469 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 79th most-seen of the 368 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Babbler in Jim Corbett National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February, April, June and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Jim Corbett National Park's wettest months, with about 360 mm of rain against almost none in November.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-chinned 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.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Black-chinned Babbler sightings, Jim Corbett National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Langtang National Park (Nepal, about 10%) and Chitwan National Park (Nepal, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-chinned Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Jim Corbett National Park (469 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.
