Black-naped Oriole
The black-naped oriole is a passerine bird in the oriole family that is found in many parts of Asia. A typical yellow and black Old World oriole, the male is entirely golden-yellow apart from black wings & tail and a broad black band through the eyes. The tail and wings have yellow tips and the bill is deep pinkish. The female is similar to the male but with more yellowish-green upperparts. Juveniles show streaked underparts. They are found in a variety of forest habitats, including plantations and gardens; foraging in the forest canopy. There are several distinctive populations within the wide distribution range of this species and in the past the slender-billed oriole was included as a subspecies.
