The pink-billed parrotfinch (''Erythrura kleinschmidti'') is a species of estrildid finch found on the island of Viti Levu, Fiji. Commonly found at undisturbed mature forest in the centre and east of Viti Levu, e.g. Joske's Thumb near Suva. This species is found at mid-height along tree-trunks and branches, usually alone or in pairs but also joining mixed-species flocks, feeding primarily on insects, but also on flower buds and fruits. ==Taxonomy== The parrotfinches are a genus of estridid finches found in south-east Asia and Australasia. They are small birds with short rounded wings and tails. Most species have green bodies, and all but one have the red tail that gives the genus its scientific name ''Erythrura'',〔Clements (1993) p.397〕 which is derived from the Ancient Greek ερυθρός ''erythros'', "red",〔Brookes (2006) p. 306〕 and ουρά ''oura'', "tail".〔Brookes (2006) p. 1058〕 The pink-billed parrotfinch was initially described as ''Amblynura kleinschmidti'' by German naturalist Otto Finsch in 1878. The binomial name commemorates the German explorer and collector Theodor Kleinschmidt (1834–1881), who discovered the species on Viti Levu in 1877.
