Striated Lorikeet Synorhacma multistriata

A rare, medium-sized lorikeet of foothill and lower montane forest. Green body with yellow-green striations on the face and underparts, and a gray band from the eye around the back of the head. Bicolored bill is blue-gray above and orange-yellow below. In flight, lacks the yellow bar in the wing or any red. Travels in pairs or small groups, but gathers in larger groups at flowering trees. Similar to Goldie’s Lorikeet but Striated has light streaks and lacks the pink face. Sounds like other closely-related species.
