noun
black-naped oriole
A bird species (Oriolus chinensis) found in East Asia. The Japanese name literally means 'Korean bush warbler', but it is not closely related to the Japanese bush warbler (ウグイス).
コウライウグイスは鮮やかな黄色の羽を持つ渡り鳥です。
The black-naped oriole is a migratory bird with bright yellow plumage.
Usually written in katakana; the kanji form 高麗鶯 is rare.
Rare kanji spelling; the katakana form is standard.
Refers to the Japanese bush warbler, a different species known for its song. コウライウグイス is an oriole, not a true bush warbler.
From 高麗 (Korai, an old name for Korea) + 鶯 (uguisu, bush warbler), though the bird is not a true bush warbler. The exact naming origin is uncertain.
