Other common names: Dull-brown Bulbul; Charlotte’s/Finsch’s Bulbul (charlottae)
Taxonomy: I[ole]. olivacea Blyth, 1844, Singapore.
Often included in a broad genus Hypsipetes; when thus treated, current species name becomes invalid, as preoccupied, and name cryptus should be used, in addition to which charlottae then has priority as the species name. Proposed race perplexa (from Labuan Kelambu, in Borneo) invalid, as described from a standard juvenile specimen. Two subspecies recognized.
