Chloropsis cochinchinensis jerdoni Jerdon's leafbird (Chloropsis jerdoni) is a species of leafbird found in forest and woodland in India and Sri Lanka.

[2] It has traditionally been considered a subspecies of the blue-winged leafbird (C. cochinchinensis), but differ in measurements and morphology, it lacking the blue flight feathers for which the blue-winged leafbird was named.

The male is green-bodied with a yellow-tinged head, black face and throat.

The female differs in that it has a greener head and blue throat, and young birds are like the female but without the blue throat patch.

They are very shy of water, will only come down to drink for very short periods and are quick to flee.
