The Malayan crestless fireback or Malay crestless fireback (Lophura erythrophthalma) is a member of the family Phasianidae. It was previously known as the crestless fireback when it was lumped together with the Bornean crestless fireback. The two species were separated into two monotypic species based on obvious plumage differences, most notably the virtually unmarked dark plumage of the male.
The Malayan crestless fireback is found in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Malay Crestless Fireback sighting in Taman Negara National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 239th most-seen of the 293 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Malay Crestless Fireback in Taman Negara National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Malay Crestless Fireback 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 Taman Negara National Park, in our data
Taman Negara National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Malay Crestless Fireback sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malay Crestless Fireback is recorded against all the birds logged in Taman Negara National Park (18 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.
