Stripe-throated Bulbul

The stripe-throated bulbul is a brown, yellow-accented bulbul 19–20 cm long. Sharp yellow streaks cover the forehead, ear-coverts, throat and upper breast, while yellowish-olive edges mark the wings and outer tail. The lower breast and belly are streaked whitish and the undertail coverts are yellow. Juveniles resemble adults but have weaker yellow markings. This facial streaking makes the species distinctive despite its otherwise subdued plumage (Birds of Singapore; Myers, as cited by Wikipedia).

It ranges from southern China and Indochina through Thailand to the Malay Peninsula. Forest edge, secondary growth, scrub, clearings and gardens are preferred, generally from lowlands to about 1,300 m; it seldom penetrates deeply into intact forest. Birds visit fruiting trees, often alongside other bulbuls, eating berries and figs and supplementing them with insects caught in foliage, in flight or on the ground. A deep, carefully constructed cup nest is used for breeding (Birds of Singapore; Fishpool species account, as summarised on Wikipedia).
