Falkenstein's greenbul (Chlorocichla falkensteini) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found from western Cameroon and Central African Republic to central Angola.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.

Taxonomy and systematics[]

Falkenstein's greenbul was originally described in the genus Criniger and later in Andropadus before being re-classified to Chlorocichla. Alternate names for the yellow-bellied greenbul include the yellow-necked greenbul, yellow-necked bulbul, yellow-throated bulbul and yellow-throated greenbul. The latter two names should not be confused with the species of the same names, Pycnonotus xantholaemus and Arizelocichla chlorigula respectively. The alternate name 'yellow-necked greenbul' is also used as an alternate name by the yellow-bellied greenbul.[3]
