Yellow-rumped Flowerpecker

Latin Name : Prionochilus xanthopygius

Site Name : DanumBRL

Photographer : EATON, James

Date : 0000-00-00

Notes : Feeding on Pipturus sp. URTICACEAE (Australia=Native Mulberry) A medium sized straggling shrub of secondary forest often near streams. Several similar species occur in Borneo where the white jelly like fruits embedded with small black seeds are very popular with flowerpeckers, leafbirds and bulbuls. The leaves are often eaten by the caterpillars of Hypolimnas (Egg fly) butterflies- one of the commonest forest butterflies.
