The rusty mouse-warbler (Origma murina), is a species of bird in the family Acanthizidae. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, in a 1,270,000 km² distribution. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
This species was formerly placed in the genus Crateroscelis, but following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study of the scrubwrens and mouse-warblers in 2018, it was moved to the genus Origma. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty Mouse-Warbler sighting in Raja Ampat on a given day, based on 196 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 58th most-seen of the 200 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty Mouse-Warbler in Raja Ampat on a given day, against under 5% in April, the lowest month.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rusty Mouse-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Raja Ampat, in our data
Raja Ampat is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rusty Mouse-Warbler sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acanthizidae
The closest relatives of the Rusty Mouse-Warbler that you can see in Raja Ampat (family Acanthizidae, Thornbills and Allies) are Green-backed Gerygone (about 30%), Pale-Billed Scrubwren (about 10%) and Fairy Gerygone (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusty Mouse-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Raja Ampat (196 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.
