The scarlet-backed flowerpecker (''Dicaeum cruentatum'') is a species of passerine bird in the flowerpecker family Dicaeidae. Sexually dimorphic, the male has navy blue upperparts with a bright red streak down its back from its crown to its tail coverts, while the female and juvenile are predominantly olive green. It is found in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and occasionally gardens in a number of countries throughout South and East Asia. ==Taxonomy==
The scarlet-backed flowerpecker was originally described by Linnaeus in 1758 in the 10th edition of his work ''Systema Naturae'', with the binomial name of ''Certhia cruentata'' among the treecreepers.〔 〕 It was later reclassified into the flowerpecker genus ''Dicaeum''. The specific epithet ''cruentatum'' 'bloodstained' is derived from the Latin verb ''crǔentare'' 'to stain with blood'. Genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA of 70% of flowerpecker species showed the scarlet-backed and black-fronted flowerpecker (''D. igniferum'') - which is endemic to the Indonesian Lesser Sunda Islands - to be each other's closest relative; the males of both species have red plumage on their backs.
