     by id from , Indonesia (song)

Subspecies
No subspecies.

Chloropsis aurifrons (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Golden-fronted Leafbird (Chloropsis aurifrons) and Sumatran Leafbird (Chloropsis media) following Wells et al. (2003).

Forms a superspecies with Golden-fronted Leafbird (Chloropsis aurifrons) and was for long considered conspecific, but differs sufficiently, including in development of mask, to warrant species rank.
