The white-browed bush robin (Tarsiger indicus) is a species of passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that is found from the Himalayas to south-central China and north Vietnam. Its natural habitat is Rhododendron and conifer forests. The Taiwan bush robin was formerly regarded as a subspecies.
The white-browed bush robin was formally described in 1817 by the French ornithologist Louis Vieillot under the binomial name Sylvia indica. Vieillot based his account on "Le rossignol de muraille des Indes" that had been described by Pierre Sonnerat in his "Voyage aux Indes orientales et à la Chine". The type locality was restricted to Darjeeling by E. C. Stuart Baker in 1921. The white-browed bush is now one of eight bush robins placed in the genus Tarsiger that was introduced by Brian Hodgson in 1845.
Two subspecies are recognised: The Taiwan bush robin (Tarsiger formosanus) was formerly regarded as a subspecies but is now considered as a separate species based both on a phylogenetic study published in 2022... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Bush-Robin sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 95th most-seen of the 225 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Bush-Robin in Langtang National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February–August and October–December, the lowest months.
Only Langtang National Park, in our data
Langtang National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-browed Bush-Robin sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Tarsiger
The closest relatives of the White-browed Bush-Robin that you can see in Langtang National Park (genus Tarsiger, Bush-Robins and Bluetails) are Himalayan Bluetail (about 20%) and Golden Bush-Robin (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-browed Bush-Robin is recorded against all the birds logged in Langtang National Park (38 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.
