The Bhutan laughingthrush (Trochalopteron imbricatum) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae. It is commonly found in Bhutan and some adjoining areas in India. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the streaked laughingthrush, G. lineatus, hence its alternate common name of Himalayan streaked laughingthrush. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bhutan Laughingthrush sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 269th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bhutan Laughingthrush in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–July and October–February, the lowest months. That is one of Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bhutan Laughingthrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Royal Manas National Park, in our data
Royal Manas National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bhutan Laughingthrush sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bhutan Laughingthrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (23 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.
