The Cebu hanging parrot (Loriculus philippensis chrysonotus) is a subspecies of the Philippine hanging parrot found only on the island of Cebu, Philippines.

This subspecies was generally believed to be extinct[1][2] until an expedition led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Cebu) claimed to have seen and captured a tiny bird in thick foliage in the remote part of central Cebu.

[3] The bird has a distinctive scarlet tail with faint patches of red on its head.

Females lack the red throat and breast patch, as opposed to males.

The nape and upper back are green-tinged and only lightly golden-yellow.
