Yellow-throated Bulbul
Pycnonotus xantholaemus (Jerdon, 1845)
Pycnonotidae — Bulbuls
Yellow-throated Bulbul, Pycnonotus xantholaemus, is a bulbul of southern peninsular India, where it lives in scrub on steep, rocky hills. It is most often associated with the Eastern Ghats and central peninsular India, and also occurs in parts of the Western Ghats. Its range is broken up and the birds are local in occurrence. It is plain on the head, with yellow on the throat and yellow on the vent, which helps separate it from the white-browed bulbul. The species was described by Jerdon in 1845.
