Pycnonotus jocosus
Slim bird with a distinct black crest. Under-surface is white. Red near the vent. White and red patches on cheek
On an electric wire near my house. These birds sometimes come to my rooftop terrace to look for food...and are usually chased away by the regular visitors the red-vented bulbuls P. cafer. Yesterday it stuck around for a few moments...hence these shots.
Its call is beautiful...liquid notes of pure music.
