Yellow-sided Flowerpecker

The yellow-sided flowerpecker is a Dicaeum endemic to Sulawesi and adjacent Indonesian islands. Its scientific name is Dicaeum aureolimbatum, described by Wallace in 1865. The opened sources did not provide a dependable adult, female or juvenile identification account, and the species cannot safely be described by transferring markings from other flowerpeckers. A Macaulay Library record confirms it in rainforest and evergreen montane habitat (Wikipedia taxonomy; Macaulay Library record).

The verified habitat spans moist lowland and montane forest. Beyond that broad association, the accessible species sources did not establish elevation, diet, foraging method, nest form, clutch size or incubation. Although flowerpeckers commonly use fruit and nectar, those family-level tendencies are not asserted as facts for this species without a direct account. This concise treatment therefore retains only sourced classification, range and habitat until fuller regional literature can be checked (Wikipedia general account).
