Pycnonotus cafer
A small bird with a blackish head (and a more or less prominent crest depending on the subspecies), and an unmistakable red vent. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern, the belly white, and the tail dark with white tips. Originally from south Asia, has established itself in the United Arab Emirates where this individual was spotted.
Dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands.
LadenTamang from Sikkim mentioned the red-vented Bulbul yesterday in response to my spotting of a white-eared bulbul (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/601...), and I happen to just spot one today in the same Abu Dhabi park…
