分类信息
The Bornean bulbul was previously placed in genus Pycnonotus. This genus was found to be polyphyletic in recent molecular phylogenetic studies and five bulbul species, including the Bornean bulbul, moved to Rubigula.<p>Until 2008, the Bornean bulbul was considered as conspecific with the black-capped, black-crested, ruby-throated and flame-throated bulbuls. Some authorities have considered the Bornean bulbul to be a subspecies of the black-capped bulbul.

Buff-throated Apalis
Apalis rufogularis
Plain apalis with dark gray upperparts and pale underparts. The head pattern of males varies geographically. In the northwestern part of the range, the head and breast are completely dark. In the rest of the range, the throat and breast are pale. Found in the canopy of low- and middle-elevation humid forest. Usually in pairs or small groups, which will join mixed-species flocks. The main vocalization is a rough, quickly repeated “chree” which can be accompanied by a piping call. Similar to Gray Apalis, but has a buffy wash on the underparts.
Roraiman Nightjar
Tepuiornis whitelyi
A medium-sized, dark nightjar of tepui highlands, difficult to identify by plumage alone. Cryptically patterned with dark brown and gray accented with buffy and whitish bars and spots. Male has a white band in the wing, which the female lacks. Uncommon, found in humid forest and edges, as well as humid scrub close to forested areas. Distinctive voice is a hoarse whistle “whoEEuuu”, given repeatedly. Larger than the similar Band-winged Nightjar, and smaller than Blackish Nightjar, but best identified by voice and habitat.
Yellow-crowned Bishop
Euplectes afer
Dumpy with a short tail. Breeding males are yellow apart from black throats, cheeks, belly, and wings. The female and nonbreeding male are similar; streaky and sparrowlike with a white eyebrow and throat. Found in wet areas with tall grass. Native to sub-Saharan Africa, now established in Iberia, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Gives dry, buzzing calls and a high-pitched “ts’ee”; breeding males also give an odd hissing song.
