The plain-pouched hornbill (Rhyticeros subruficollis) is a species of hornbill in the family Bucerotidae. It is found in forests of the Dawna Range and the Tenasserim Hills of southern Myanmar, adjacent parts of western Thailand and northern Peninsular Malaysia.
It is threatened by habitat loss. The Oriental pied Hornbill is a nest competitor of the plain-pouched hornbill. They primarily nest in Tetrameles and fig trees. It eats fruit, including mahogany and mulberries, and insects, especially cicadas and beetles.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plain-pouched Hornbill is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Luang National Park (51 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.
