Well, pretty obviously a Bulbul. Only two are reported as ranging. Pycnonotus goiavier, which this isn't, and Hypsipetes philippinus guimarasensis - Philippine Bulbul (N.B.: taxon guimarasensis has been recently split with some controversy, as Hypsipetes guimarasensis - Visayan Bulbul). Certainly, for being Bulbuls, the entire species complex has rather huge bills, they almost look like some of the Oriole bills. Here is one from Panay (same race): orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?p=8&Bird_ID=1695&Bird_Family_ID=&pagesize=1I have another couple from Negros (same race). This is the first I have seen from the type locale - Guimaras. |
