What differs, and by how much

Different wording The two terms share 布氏鷚 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 布萊氏鷚; on the Mainland it is 布氏鷚 - both point at “(bird species of China) Blyth's pipit (Anthus godlewskii)”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 布萊氏鷚、布氏鷚 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
