Cebu Flowerpecker, Dicaeum quadricolor, is a passerine of the family Dicaeidae that breeds on Cebu in the central Philippines. It is confined to Cebu Island and was thought lost in the early twentieth century before being found again in 1992 in limestone forest within the Central Cebu Protected Landscape. Later records also came from Nug-as forest in Alcoy, Mount Lantoy in Argao and forests near Dalaguete. The male shows a large triangular scarlet to vermilion patch, while the female has a brown upper side.
