Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-gorgeted Flycatcher sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 232nd most-seen of the 388 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.
October and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-gorgeted Flycatcher in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to July, the lowest months. Those are among Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-gorgeted Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate White-gorgeted Flycatcher sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Doi Inthanon National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the White-gorgeted Flycatcher that you can see in Royal Manas National Park (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are Blue Whistling-Thrush (about 50%), Oriental Magpie-Robin (about 50%) and Verditer Flycatcher (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-gorgeted Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (39 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.
