The greyish-crowned leafbird (Chloropsis lazulina) is a bird native to southern China south to Vietnam. The subspecies melliana is the one found throughout most of the range, while the nominate subspecies hardwickii is endemic to Hainan Island. The orange-bellied leafbird (C. hardwickii), which ranges from the Himalayas to northern Laos and the Malay Peninsula, was formerly considered conspecific.[2]
