Flores Flowerpecker
Dicaeum rhodopygiale Rensch, 1928
Dicaeidae — Flowerpeckers
Flores Flowerpecker, Dicaeum rhodopygiale, is a flowerpecker in the family Dicaeidae and a passerine of montane Flores in the Lesser Sundas. It breeds in the mountains of the Indonesian island of Flores, where it is associated with subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. The species was first described in 1928 by Bernhard Rensch from a specimen taken near Lake Ranamese at 1,200 m. It is now treated as a full species, having once been placed with the blood-breasted flowerpecker, now the Javan flowerpecker. No subspecies are recognised.
