Yellow-crowned Flowerpecker (Dicaeum anthonyi)
About the Yellow-crowned Flowerpecker
The yellow-crowned flowerpecker (Dicaeum anthonyi) is a species of bird in the family Dicaeidae. It is endemic to Luzon Island in the Philippines. It was formerly conspecific with the flame-crowned flowerpecker of Mindanao. Its natural habitat is tropical moist montane forest. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss. The yellow-crowned flowerpecker was formally described in 1914 by the Australian-American ornithologist Richard Crittenden McGregor as Prionochilus anthonyi based on a specimen collected on Mount Polis, Province of Ifugao on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. McGregor chose the specific epithet to honour the American mining engineer and ornithologist Alfred Webster Anthony.
