Green-tailed Bristlebill Bleda eximius

An unusual and colorful rainforest bulbul. The upperparts are dark olive-green and the underparts yellow. There are yellow spots at the corners of the tail and blue bare skin above the eye. Found in the understory of rainforest and lush secondary habitat. Sometimes joins mixed flocks and follows ant swarms. The calls are chirpy notes typical of bulbuls. Similar to Gray-headed Bristlebill, but separated by the olive-green rather than gray head, as well as the blue bare skin above the eye. Also similar to Red-tailed Bristlebill, but easily separated by the green tail. The song is a series of melancholy whistles which usually descend, and which are very similar to some vocalizations of Red-tailed Bristlebill.
