Sumatran Leafbird
Chloropsis media (Bonaparte, 1850)
Chloropseidae — Leafbirds
Sumatran Leafbird, Chloropsis media, is a passerine of the leafbird family that breeds in montane Sumatra in the Oriental Region. It was described by Bonaparte in 1850. It has long been treated as part of the golden-fronted leafbird, but it is distinct in several features. The male has a yellow forehead rather than a deep orange one. The female is like a female blue-winged leafbird, yet with a yellowish forecrown and no blue on the wings or tail.
