Identification
A large bulbul with a brown crest, a white throat, a greenish-brown back, and a dirty yellow breast and belly. The short crest is often inconspicuous. Found on Java and Bali in forest at low and middle elevations. Song is long and variable, mixing rough “krawk” notes with more musical “chu-kit” phrases. Distinctive within its limited range: separated from other bulbuls by the short crest and yellow underparts.
