Identification
Large chunky, olive-green greenbul. There is geographic variation in the color of the crown (gray or olive); the color of the eye (pale or dark); the presence or absence of white crescents around the eye; and the amount of yellow on the underparts. Throughout the range, shows a dark cheek with diagnostic fine pale stripes, though a good look is required to see these. Found in humid foothill and montane forest. The song is a chatty, up-and-down series of low “chowp” notes and higher nasal notes. Similar to mountain greenbuls, but always separated by the more distinct cheek striping.
