Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)

Yellow-browed Bulbul (Acritillas indica) - HBW 10, p. 227

French: Bulbul à sourcils d’or German: Goldbrauenbülbül Spanish: Bulbul Cejiamarillo
Other common names: Golden-browed Bulbul

Taxonomy: T[richophorus]. Indicus Jerdon, 1839, Nilgiri District, India.
Sometimes placed in genus Hypsipetes or Iole, but unique morphology and nest structure support treatment in monotypic genus. Races poorly differentiated, thought possibly to be based on age-related differences, and species sometimes considered monotypic; thorough review is necessary. Putative race intensior (from Kunjapani, in Tamil Nadu) considered indistinguishable from nominate, and synonymized with it. Three subspecies tentatively recognized.

Subspecies and Distribution:

icterica (Strickland, 1844) - Western Ghats (C Maharashtra S to Kerala) and Eastern Ghats (Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu), in peninsular India.
indica (Jerdon, 1839) - SW India and Sri Lanka (except SW).
guglielmi (Ripley, 1946) - SW Sri Lanka.
