Yellow-gorgeted greenbul
species of bird
The yellow-gorgeted greenbul (Atimastillas flavicollis), formerly known as the yellow-throated leaflove, is a species of passerine bird in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. It is found in West Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
Taxonomy and systematics
The yellow-gorgeted greenbul was originally described in the genus Haematornis (a synonym for Pycnonotus) and later classified within Chlorocichla before being moved to the genus Atimastillas in 2010. Not all authorities have adopted this latest genus change. Formerly, various authorities have classified the yellow-gorgeted greenbul in several other genera, including Criniger, Ixus and Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda). Alternatively, some authorities have classified the yellow-gorgeted greenbul as synonymous with the yellow-throated greenbul. Alternate names for the yellow-gorgeted greenbul include the mango bulbul, yellowthroat and yellow-throated greenbul. The alternate name 'yellowthroat' is not to be confused with the species of the genus Geothlypis.
The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.

Why this record matters
“Yellow-gorgeted greenbul” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Yellow-gorgeted, greenbul and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q27075432. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
