Taxonomy and systematics edit
The olive-headed greenbul was originally described in the genus Criniger and then classified in Andropadus. It was re-classified to the new genus Arizelocichla in 2010.[1] Alternatively, some authorities classify the olive-headed greenbul in the genus Pycnonotus. Some authorities have considered the olive-headed greenbul to be a subspecies of the stripe-cheeked greenbul. The alternate name green-throated greenbul is also used by the yellow-throated greenbul.[2]
Distribution and habitat edit
The olive-headed greenbul is found in south-western Tanzania, Malawi and north-western Mozambique.[3]
