Scarlet-collared flowerpecker
Species of bird
The scarlet-collared flowerpecker (Dicaeum retrocinctum) is a species of bird in the family Dicaeidae, about 10 cm long and is endemic to the Philippines.
It is found only in Mindoro, usually occurring below 1000m in the canopy and edge of the forest and in open country with scattered trees. The call is a series of notes similar to striking two stones together plus a high-pitched 'zeet zeet zeet'. It is closely related to the red-keeled flowerpecker (Dicaeum australe) but has a longer, more slender curved beak.
