Stripe-faced Greenbul (Arizelocichla striifacies)
About the Stripe-faced Greenbul
The olive-headed greenbul (Arizelocichla striifacies) is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is native to the eastern Afromontane. The olive-headed greenbul was formally described in 1895 by the German ornithologists Anton Reichenow and Oscar Neumann under the binomial name Xenocichla striifacies. The specific epithet combines the Latin stria meaning "furrow" of "striation" with facies meaning "countenance" or "appearance". This species is now one of 11 greenbuls placed in the genus Arizelocichla that was introduced in 1905 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser. Two subspecies are recognised: A. s. striifacies (Reichenow & Neumann, 1895) – southeast Kenya to southwest Tanzania (Udzungwas)
