Yellow-crowned Flowerpecker
Dicaeum anthonyi (McGregor, 1914)
Dicaeidae — Flowerpeckers
Yellow-crowned Flowerpecker, Dicaeum anthonyi, is a passerine of the Dicaeidae family that breeds in montane Luzon in the Philippines. It lives in tropical moist montane forest between 1,500 and 2,000 metres above sea level. The species is confined to Luzon and was once treated as the same bird as the flame-crowned flowerpecker of Mindanao. Males show a yellow crown and vent, while females are plainer, with uniform olive colouring and no black upperparts. It was first described in 1914 by McGregor.
