Maroon-naped Sunbird
Aethopyga guimarasensis (Steere, 1890)
Nectariniidae — Sunbirds
Maroon-naped Sunbird, Aethopyga guimarasensis, is a bird of the West Visayas in the Philippines, where it breeds in the Oriental Region. It belongs to the sunbird family and was described by Steere in 1890. It is tied to moist lowland forest, including primary and secondary woodland, and is recorded from Negros, Panay and Guimaras. The species is marked by the maroon patch on the nape that gives it its name, and two forms are recognised, with the Negros bird showing stronger maroon and more orange on the chest.
