A male Golden-fronted Leafbird (Chloropsis aurifrons) perched on a small branch in the forest in Western Thailand
The Golden-fronted Leafbird (Chloropsis aurifrons) is a species of leafbird. It is found from the Indian subcontinent and south-western China, to south-east Asia and Sumatra. The adult is green-bodied with a black face and throat bordered with yellow. It has a yellowish orange forehead and blue moustachial line (but lacks the blue flight feathers and tail sides of blue-winged leafbird). Its song consists of rising and falling liquid chirps in bulbul-like tones and its call may include harsh whispers. They are also known to mimic the calls of other bird species and have loud calls.
