The green-tailed bristlebill (Bleda eximius) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in West Africa from Sierra Leone to Ghana. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. The green-tailed bristlebill was originally described in the genus Trichophorus (a synonym for Criniger). Formerly, some authorities considered the yellow-lored bristlebill as conspecific with the green-tailed bristlebill.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green-tailed Bristlebill sighting in Kakum National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 200th 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.
August to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-tailed Bristlebill in Kakum National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January to July, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-tailed Bristlebill sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kakum National Park, in our data
Kakum National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Green-tailed Bristlebill sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-tailed Bristlebill is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakum National Park (19 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.
