The Apo sunbird (Aethopyga boltoni) is a species of bird in the sunbird family Nectariniidae. It is endemic to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines.
Its natural habitat is tropical moist montane forest. The species is not yet threatened by habitat loss, and is common within its range, and it is listed as least concern despite its tiny range.
Taxonomy
The Apo sunbird was formally described in 1905 by the American ornithologist Edgar Alexander Mearns from specimens collected from Mount Apo on the island of Mindanao, Philippines. He coined the binomial name Aethopyga boltoni.[2]
Three subspecies are recognised:[3]
A. b. malindangensis Rand & Rabor, 1957 – west Mindanao
A. b. boltoni Mearns, 1905 – east-central, east Mindanao
A. b. tibolii Kennedy, RS, Gonzales & Miranda, 1997 – south Mindanao
