Kikuyu Mountain Greenbul

The Kikuyu mountain greenbul (Arizelocichla kikuyuensis), also known as the olive-breasted greenbul, is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is native to the Lake Victoria region.

Taxonomy and systematics: The Kikuyu mountain greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda), then classified in Andropadus and, in 2010 re-classified to the new genus Arizelocichla. Also, some authorities consider the olive-breasted greenbul to be a subspecies of western mountain greenbul or the mountain greenbul. Alternate names for the olive-breasted greenbul include the Kikuyu grey-throated greenbul and western mountain greenbul. The alternate name ´western mountain greenbul´ is also used by the western greenbul. The English name and the specific epithet are from the name of the Kikuyu people that live in Kenya.
