Black-belted flowerpecker

The black-belted flowerpecker or visayan flowerpecker (Dicaeum haematostictum) is a species of bird in the family Dicaeidae. It is endemic to the Philippines where it is restricted to Panay, Negros and Guimaras islands. It was formerly regarded as a subspecies of the more widespread red-keeled flowerpecker (D. australe). Sometimes the name red-keeled flowerpecker is used for D. haematostictum and D. australe is then known as the red-sided flowerpecker.

gollark: I "would" play, but waiting an entire 7 minutes for the pack to load exceeds my current annoyance thresholds for it.
gollark: I experience this sort of thing sometimes because computers fear me.
gollark: Well, first, take the finite list of all previous prime ministers. Then multiply them together and add one. This then produces the next prime minister, since by something something modular arithmetic, this new value cannot be divisible by previous prime ministers.
gollark: Technically, the sun still hasn't set on the British empire. xkcd said so, so it must be true.
