The rufous-banded honeyeater (Conopophila albogularis) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is found in the Aru Islands, New Guinea and northern Australia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical mangrove forests. The rufous-banded honeyeater is considered one of the most common small birds in the suburban ecosystem of Darwin, Australia, notable because its lack of introduced bird species. It is also native to Queensland, Australia. Ornithologist F. Salomonsen recognized two subspecies of rufous-banded honeyeater, Conopophila albogularis and Conopophila mimikae but J. Ford disagreed with this subspeciation. Wikipedia →

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-banded Honeyeater sighting in Kakadu National Park on a given day, based on 693 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 37th most-seen of the 186 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.
October to December
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-banded Honeyeater in Kakadu National Park on a given day, against about 20% in January, the lowest month. February has too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-banded Honeyeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakadu National Park (693 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.
