Simple Greenbul

Chlorocichla simplex

As befits the name, this large, classically patterned greenbul is one of the easiest to identify visually in the field. A brown greenbul of thick bushes and forest edge, it has a bright white throat, a white belly, and white eye-arcs around its dark reddish eyes. Can be confused with Central African populations of Yellow-throated Greenbul that have white throats, but Simple Greenbul’s white eye-arcs and pale belly are distinctive. Song is a cawing, robust, variable chatter: “rar-ra-ra-kora-rawr.”

The simple greenbul was originally described in the genus Trichophorus (a synonym for Criniger) and then classified within Pyrrhurus before being moved to the genus Chlorocichla.
