brownbellied

Brownbellied may refer to several different things, most commonly a species of snake or a type of bird.

In herpetology, Brownbellied is a common name for various species of snakes, particularly those within the genus *Storeria*. For example, the Brownsnake, *Storeria occipitomaculata*, is often referred to as the brownbellied snake due to its distinctive pale brown or reddish-brown underside. These are small, non-venomous snakes found in North America, typically inhabiting moist woodlands and meadows. Their diet consists mainly of slugs, earthworms, and other small invertebrates.

Alternatively, "brownbellied" can describe birds that have a brown coloration on their ventral side. This descriptive term might be applied to various species depending on regional common names or specific field guide terminology. For instance, some subspecies or regional variations of birds might be colloquially identified by this feature. Without further context, it's difficult to pinpoint a single avian species solely by this descriptor.

The term "brownbellied" is a straightforward descriptor of coloration and is not a formal scientific classification on its own. Its specific meaning is usually clarified by the context in which it is used, such as in relation to a particular animal species or a broader description of an animal's physical characteristics.
