About the Yellow-throated Fulvetta

The yellow-throated fulvetta (Schoeniparus cinereus) is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. Its common name is misleading, because it is not a close relative of the "typical" fulvettas, which are now in the family Paradoxornithidae.

It is found in south-eastern Asia from the Himalayas to north-central Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Collar, N. J. & Robson, C. 2007.

Where does the Yellow-throated Fulvetta sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Yellow-throated Fulvetta is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (63 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.
