Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)

Andaman Bulbul (Pycnonotus fuscoflavescens) - HBW 10, p. 174

French: Bulbul des Andaman German: Andamanenbülbül Spanish: Bulbul de Andamán
Other common names: Andaman Black-headed Bulbul

Taxonomy: Brachypodius fuscoflavescens Hume, 1873, Port Mouat and Mount Harriet, South Andaman.
Genus as currently constituted probably polyphyletic; in-depth analysis of morphology, voice, behaviour and genetics required to redefine its limits. Present species previously placed in a separate genus Brachypodius; on basis of vocal, behavioural and morphological features, may merit return to this resurrected genus, alongside P. priocephalus and P. atriceps. Usually considered conspecific with last-mentioned, but considerable differences in plumage pattern and voice sufficient to warrant treatment as separate species. Monotypic.

Distribution: Andaman Is (South I and Middle I).
