Golden Greenbul

The Golden Greenbul is brightly coloured for a greenbul due to its bright yellow belly and white throat; otherwise it is not particularly distinct in plumage, with unmarked olive upperparts, tail and wings. It has a long slender pinkish-brown bill, a feature not shared by other greenbuls.

The Golden Greenbul is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Golden Greenbul (Calyptocichla serina) is the only member of the Calyptocichla genus of greenbuls. It is not closely related to any of the other greenbul species, forming a separate clade from the two main clades which make up the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. More

Likewise, the Golden Greenbul (Calyptocichla serina) is not a typical greenbul, but apparently the representative of a distinct and ancient lineage of bulbuls, which might include the Black-collared Bulbul, Neolestes torquatus (Moyle & Marks 2006). More
