The Black-naped Oriole (scientific name: Oriolus chinensis) has a yellow-and-black plumage that has often led to it being mistakenly called the Golden Oriole (Oriolus oriolus), another species found in India and China. It was featured on the S$500 notes of the “Bird Series” currency notes issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore between 1976 and 1984. It was also featured on 50-cent stamps in a 1991 postage stamp series on garden birds, as well as S$1 stamps in a 2002 series on The William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings.

It would be good to have a picture of the bird so that it is easier to identify the bird with the name. Thanks.
