The orange-bellied leafbird (Chloropsis hardwickii) is a bird native to the central and eastern Himalayas, Yunnan and northern parts of Southeast Asia.

The greyish-crowned leafbird, which is found in Hainan, is again considered conspecific.

[2] The scientific name commemorates the English naturalist Thomas Hardwicke.

It is brightly coloured with an orange belly, a green back, a blue tail and flight feathers, and a black and blue patch over its throat and chest.

Orange-bellied leafbirds make their nests from roots and fibers which are suspended from the edges of twigs at the end of a tree branch.
