Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)

Cameroon Montane Greenbul (Andropadus montanus) - HBW 10, p. 197

French: Bulbul concolore German: Einfarbbülbül Spanish: Bulbul Montano
Other common names: Cameroon (Mountain) Greenbul, Mountain (Little) Greenbul

Taxonomy: Andropadus montanus Reichenow, 1892, Buea, 950 m, Mount Cameroon, Cameroon.
Genus formerly submerged in Pycnonotus. Has been suggested to form a superspecies with A. masukuensis, and in the past considered conspecific, but differs significantly in plumage and voice; also, while recent fieldwork and molecular evidence indicate that latter is more closely related to A. tephrolaemus, phylogenetic studies indicate that present species is sister-taxon to both. Monotypic.

Distribution: Extreme SE Nigeria (Mt Gangirwal, Gotel Mts and Obudu Plateau) and W Cameroon (Tchabal Mbabo and Bamenda Highlands S to Mt Cameroon).
