About the Sumatran Leafbird

The Sumatran leafbird is a species of bird in the family Chloropseidae. It is endemic to forest and plantations in Sumatra in Indonesia. It has often been included as a subspecies of the golden-fronted leafbird, but the two differ extensively in, among others, morphology, with the male of the Sumatran leafbird having a yellow forehead, and the female resembling a female blue-winged leafbird, but with a yellowish forecrown and no blue to the wings and tail.
