Description
Arachnothera chrysogenys, also known as the Yellow-eared Spiderhunter or Kelicap Jantong Telinga Kuning in Malay is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It can be found in lowland forests, forest edges, secondary vegetations and gardens up to 900m above sea level. This species has incomplete yellow rings around its eyes, typically not linking up with its yellow ear patch. The plumage consists of olive upperparts and pale olive-grey underparts appearing faintly streaked, becoming yellowish on the abdomen and beneath the tail. The juveniles have eye-rings, but less ear patch.
Another species from the same family, the Spectacled Spiderhunter (Arachnothera flavigaster) has the same feature as Yellow-eared Spiderhunter and it is difficult to distinguish them in terms of plumage colour. To differentiate between these two species, special attention must be paid to their head pattern.
