The olive-headed greenbul (Arizelocichla striifacies) is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is native to the eastern Afromontane.
Taxonomy
The olive-headed greenbul was formally described in 1895 by the German ornithologists Anton Reichenow and Oscar Neumann under the binomial name Xenocichla striifacies.[2][3] The specific epithet combines the Latin stria meaning "furrow" of "striation" with facies meaning "countenance" or "appearance".[4] 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.[5]
Two subspecies are recognised:[5]
- A. s. striifacies (Reichenow & Neumann, 1895) – southeast Kenya to southwest Tanzania (Udzungwas)
- A. s. olivaceiceps (Shelley, 1896) – southwest Tanzania (Rungwe), Malawi and northwest Mozambique
The two subspecies were formerly sometimes treated as separate species with the English name "stripe-faced greenbul" used for the nominate subspecies and "olive-headed greenbul" for A. s. olivaceiceps.[5]
