The white-bellied tit (Melaniparus albiventris) is a species of bird in the family Paridae. It is found in Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The white-bellied tit was formerly one of the many species in the genus Parus but was moved to Melaniparus after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a White-bellied Tit sighting in Nairobi National Park on a given day, based on 489 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 81st most-seen of the 371 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a White-bellied Tit in Nairobi National Park on a given day, against about 20% in July, September and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-bellied Tit sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 9 parks where we can rate White-bellied Tit sightings, Nairobi National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lake Nakuru National Park (Kenya, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-bellied Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Nairobi National Park (489 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.
