The attached image was captured on Sunday, 09.02.2014 at Gadyar, on the Chakki Mor – Bhoj Nagar road in Solan Dist. of H.P.
At first I thought that it could possibly be a hybridization/cross between a Red-vented Bulbul and a Himalayan Bulbul.
However, I now understand that it’s a race/sub-species of the Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer), though I’m not sure which race/sub-species.
It does somewhat resemble the bengalensis race/sub-species, which is found in the Himalayas from Nepal east to Assam.
Warm regards,
Cheers!
