(Genus) (Species) The golden greenbul (Calyptocichla serinus) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds native to the African tropical rainforest.

It is not closely related to any of the other greenbul species, forming a separate clade from the two main clades which make up the bulbul family Pycnonotidae.

The golden greenbul is brightly coloured for a greenbul due to its bright yellow belly and white throat; otherwise it is not particularly distinct in plumage, with unmarked olive upperparts, tail and wings.

It has a long slender pinkish-brown bill, a feature not shared by other greenbuls.

[3] The species is found in forests from Sierra Leone to Ghana; south-eastern Nigeria and western Cameroon to Central African Republic and extreme north-western Angola.
