Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)
Yellow-wattled Bulbul (Pycnonotus urostictus) - HBW 10, p. 189
French: Bulbul à lunettes jaunes
German: Gelbbrillenbülbül
Spanish: Bulbul Ojigualdo
Taxonomy: Brachypus urostictus Salvadori, 1870, Luzon, Philippine Islands.
Genus as currently constituted probably polyphyletic; in-depth analysis of morphology, voice, behaviour and genetics required to redefine its limits. Present species may merit separation at genus level. Racial affiliation of birds recently recorded on Negros uncertain; tentatively included in race atricaudatus, but further study needed. Five subspecies recognized.
