Чернолицый бюльбюль Pycnonotus nigricans

A typical open-country African bulbul with a dark head and a conspicuous and diagnostic fleshy orange-red eye-ring. Pairs and small groups forage in riverine thickets in the Karoo and in arid thorny woodland and scrub, eating a variety of fruit and invertebrates. The species has a typical bubbly musical bulbul song, slower than that of the similar-sounding Common Bulbul. The juvenile Black-fronted Bulbul may be confused with the similar looking Common Bulbul, but it is often accompanied by adults with their diagnostic eye-rings.
