Where does the Green-backed Gerygone sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Green-backed Gerygone is recorded against all the birds logged in Litchfield National Park (26 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates.
