Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)
Ochraceous Bulbul (Alophoixus ochraceus) - HBW 10, p. 226
French: Bulbul ocré
German: Rostbauchbülbül
Spanish: Bulbul Ocráceo
Other common names: Ochraceous Bearded Bulbul, Brown White-throated Bulbul
Taxonomy: Criniger ochraceus F. Moore, 1854, Mergui, Tenasserim, Myanmar.
Genus often merged with Criniger; recent molecular evidence, however, strongly supports the view that the relationship between the two is remote, despite close similarity in appearance. If genera thus combined, race name cabanisi invalid, as preoccupied, and then replaced by name sordidus. Individual recently sighted in NE Cambodia was not racially identified, but probably involved hallae. Putative race crinitus (described from SW Thailand) considered indistinguishable from nominate. Several other proposed races have been synonymized in the past and are bare.. View all taxonomy...

Several other proposed races have been synonymized in the past and are barely distinguishable; thorough review required. Eight subspecies recognized.
