Taxonomy and systematics. The golden greenbul was originally described in the genus "Criniger". It is not closely related to any of the other greenbul species, forming a separate clade from the two main clades which make up the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. Alternate names for the golden greenbul include the serene bulbul and serene greenbul. Description. The golden greenbul is brightly coloured for a greenbul due to its bright  yellow belly and white throat; otherwise it is not particularly distinct in plumage, with unmarked olive upperparts, tail and wings. It has a long slender pinkish-brown bill, a feature not shared by other greenbuls. Distribution and habitat. The species is found in forests from Sierra Leone to Ghana; south-eastern Nigeria and western Cameroon to Central African Republic and extreme north-western Angola.
