The striped prinia (Prinia striata) or Swinhoe's prinia is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It was formerly lumped with the Himalayan prinia (P. crinigera) as the striated prinia, but was split from it following a study published in 2019.
It is distributed throughout mainland China and Taiwan. It is sympatric with P. crinigera in the Yunnan Province of China. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Prinia sighting in Taroko National Park on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 118th most-seen of the 147 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Prinia in Taroko National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Striped Prinia 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 Taroko National Park, in our data
Taroko National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Striped Prinia sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Prinia is recorded against all the birds logged in Taroko National Park (22 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.
