The Latin word rubricatus means 'red-ochred' which is descriptive of their orange-red eyebrow (Higgins & Peter 2002). Other common names include red-browed diamondbird, bellbird, cape red-browed, pale red-browed, fawn-eyed, fawn-eyebrowed and pallid or red-lored pardalote (Higgins & Peter 2002).
Red-browed pardalotes belong to the order Passeriformes and family Pardalotidae of which four species are recognised: red-browed pardalote Pardalotus rubricatus, spotted pardalote Pardalotus punctatus, forty-spotted pardalote Pardalotus quadragintus and striated pardalote Pardalotus striatus.
Historically, the family Pardalotidae included pardalotes and acanthizid warblers; Gerygones, scrubwrens and thornbills (Christidis & Boles 2008). Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-browed Pardalote sighting in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 76th most-seen of the 84 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-browed Pardalote in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-browed Pardalote 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 Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, in our data
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red-browed Pardalote sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Red-browed Pardalote that you can see in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are White-plumed Honeyeater (about 90%), Willie Wagtail (about 80%) and Zebra Finch (about 70%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-browed Pardalote is recorded against all the birds logged in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (6 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.
