Eastern Bearded-Greenbul

Criniger chloronotus

A large greenbul often found in family groups or flocks in forest and forest edge with other bearded-greenbuls. Like all bearded-greenbuls, will sometimes puff out throat feathers. The gray head and chest contrast with the white throat and yellow-green belly. The back is olive-green and the tail is reddish; overall the bird appears to be big-headed and big-billed. Similar to other bearded-greenbuls, but note Eastern Bearded-Greenbul’s distinctive vocalizations, larger size, and contrasting gray chest. Often found by call, which is a haunting, quavering, multi-parted whistle, “huuuur-heeeee.” Other similar variations are sometimes accompanied by chatter. 

分类信息

The eastern bearded greenbul was originally described in the genus Hypsipetes. Formerly, some authorities considered the eastern bearded greenbul as conspecific with the western bearded greenbul. Alternate names for the eastern bearded greenbul include the bearded bulbul, Congo bulbul, eastern bearded bulbul, green-backed bulbul, oriental bearded bulbul, white-throated bearded-bulbul, white-throated bearded-greenbul and white-throated bulbul. The latter two alternate names should not be confused with the species of the same name, Alophoixus flaveolus. Both the alternate name 'green-backed bulbul' and the synonym Hypsipetes malaccensis are also shared with the streaked bulbul.
