The white-throated francolin (Campocolinus albogularis) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is found in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, and Zambia. These birds are found in tropical and sub-tropical grasslands, savannas, burned lands and shrublands. They feed on seeds and insects.
The white-throated francolin weighs approximately 14–15 g (0.49–0.53 oz) at birth and reaches around 275 g (9.7 oz) as an adult. Formerly classified in the genus Peliperdix, a 2020 study placed it together with the coqui francolin (C. coqui), and Schlegel's francolin (C. schlegelii) in a new genus Campocolinus. The International Ornithological Congress has accepted these findings. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Francolin sighting in Niokolo-Koba National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 184th most-seen of the 215 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Francolin in Niokolo-Koba National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, August–September and November–February, the lowest months. That is one of Niokolo-Koba National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 300 mm in August. May–July and October have too few records to rate.
Only Niokolo-Koba National Park, in our data
Niokolo-Koba National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-throated Francolin sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Francolin is recorded against all the birds logged in Niokolo-Koba National Park (10 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.
