Yellow-tinted Honeyeater
Ptilotula flavescens (Gould, 1840)
Meliphagidae — Honeyeaters
Yellow-tinted Honeyeater, Ptilotula flavescens, is a honeyeater of northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, with its breeding range on the south coast of south-east New Guinea and in northern Australia. It belongs to the family Meliphagidae and was described by Gould in 1840. It is associated with subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest. The species was once placed in Lichenostomus, but later moved to Ptilotula after molecular work showed that the earlier genus did not form a single natural group.
