About the White-browed Fulvetta

The white-browed fulvetta (Fulvetta vinipectus) is a bird species in the family Paradoxornithidae. Like the other typical fulvettas, it was long included in the Timaliidae genus Alcippe or in the Sylviidae. Ranging across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, it is endemic to Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is temperate forests.

Where does the White-browed Fulvetta sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the White-browed Fulvetta is recorded against all the birds logged in Langtang National Park (179 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.
