Spotted
The Black-browed Babbler is an extremely rare and enigmatic species, known from a single specimen collected over a century ago. Its distinctive black eyebrow sets it apart.
Where to spot
Known only from the island of Borneo, specifically from the interior forests of Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). Its preferred habitat is believed to be dense montane rainforest.
How to spot
Observing this species is extraordinarily challenging due to its extreme rarity and secretive nature. Focus on its distinctive black eyebrow if encountered. Any robust brown babbler with a prominent black stripe above the eye in Borneo should be carefully examined and documented.
When to spot
Likely resident year-round, but specific observation times are unknown due to its extreme rarity. Any sighting is significant.
