Puff-throated Bulbul

Alophoixus pallidus (Swinhoe, 1870)

Puff-throated Bulbul, Alophoixus pallidus, is a bulbul of the Oriental Region in south-east Asia, where it breeds in moist lowland forest. First described by Swinhoe in 1870, it belongs to the family Pycnonotidae. It is a large bulbul with olive upperparts, yellow underparts and a puffy white throat. It resembles the white-throated bulbul, but its underparts are less vivid. The feet are black, and the iris and bill are brown. Males and females look the same. It is a regular cooperative breeder, though not one that always breeds that way.
