The eyebrowed jungle flycatcher (Vauriella gularis) is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is endemic to the island of Borneo (elevated areas, including the Meratus Mountains). The natural habitat of the eyebrowed jungle flycatcher is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It builds an open, mossy cup nest, generally in epiphytes or spiny palms.
This species was previously placed in the genus Rhinomyias but was moved to Vauriella when a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Rhinomyias was polyphyletic. Video of female feeding young Wikipedia →

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Eyebrowed Jungle Flycatcher sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 1,180 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 24th most-seen of the 247 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.
July and August
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Eyebrowed Jungle Flycatcher in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against about 30% in January–February, April and November, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eyebrowed Jungle Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eyebrowed Jungle Flycatcher sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eyebrowed Jungle Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabalu Park (1,180 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.
