Overview

Yellow-gorgeted Greenbul (Atimastillas flavicollis) is a species of Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae) in the order Perching Birds (Passerines).

Scientific Classification

Genus: Atimastillas; binomial: Atimastillas flavicollis; authority: (Swainson, 1837).

Distribution

Breeding range: Africa.

Conservation Status

This taxon is listed as Extant (living) in the IOC World Bird List.

Remarks

Separate Yellow-throated Leaflove from Chlorocichla to Atimastillas (Johansson et al. 2007). Change (IOC 14.2) English name of Atimastillas flavicollis from Yellow-throated Leaflove to Yellow-gorgeted Greenbul following Clements. This restricts the use of "leaflove" to Phyllastrephus scandens and eliminates the confusing use of "Yellow-throated Greenbul" which has also been attributed to Arizelocichla chlorigula.
