The Jerdon's leafbird (''Chloropsis jerdoni'') is a species of leafbird found in forest and woodland in India and Sri Lanka. Its name honours Thomas C. Jerdon. It has traditionally been considered a subspecies of the blue-winged leafbird (''C. cochinchinensis''), but differ in measurements and morphology, it lacking the blue flight feathers for which the blue-winged leafbird was named. It builds its nest in a tree, and lays 2–3 eggs. This species eats insects, fruit and nectar. The male is green-bodied with a yellow-tinged head, black face and throat. It has a blue moustachial line. The female differs in that it has a greener head and blue throat, and young birds are like the female but without the blue throat patch. Like other leafbirds, the call of Jerdon's leafbird consists of a rich mixture of imitations of the calls of various other species of birds. File: ==References== * (BirdLife Species Factsheet ).
