The yellow-browed camaroptera (Camaroptera superciliaris) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is mainly native to the African tropical rainforest. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
The yellow-browed camaroptera was described by the English zoologist Louis Fraser in 1843 under the binomial name Sylvicola superciliaris. The type locality is the island of Bioko (formerly Fernando Pó) in the Gulf of Guinea off the west coast of Africa. The specific epithet superciliaris is from the Neo-Latin superciliaris, "eyebrowed" from the classical Latin supercilium, "eyebrow". Wikipedia →

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-browed Camaroptera sighting in Semuliki National Park on a given day, based on 143 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 39th most-seen of the 280 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and December
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-browed Camaroptera in Semuliki National Park on a given day, against about 20% in January and October, the lowest months. Those are among Semuliki National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in May.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-browed Camaroptera sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Semuliki National Park, in our data
Semuliki National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow-browed Camaroptera sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Camaroptera
The closest relatives of the Yellow-browed Camaroptera that you can see in Semuliki National Park (genus Camaroptera, Camaropteras) are Green-backed Camaroptera (about 50%) and Olive-green Camaroptera (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-browed Camaroptera is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (143 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.
