Malia des Célèbes Malia grata

An oriole-sized, bulbul-like songbird confined to Sulawesi. Plain olive-green above and yellow below. Central and southeast Sulawesi form shows rufous wings and tail; elsewhere these are olive. Noisy pairs or small groups are leaders of mixed-species flocks within canopy and subcanopy of montane forest, often gleaning food from thick, mossy trunks. Large size, bulbul-like appearance, and behavior make it unmistakable. Raucous, jarring calls include loud chattering and explosive warbles. These are conspicuous and far-carrying.
