Hypsipetes philippinus (Philippine Bulbul)

Synonyms: Ixos philippinus

Wikipedia Abstract

The Philippine bulbul (Hypsipetes philippinus) is a songbird species in the bulbul family (Pycnonotidae). It is often placed in the genus Ixos, but is better retained in Hypsipetes as long as this is not entirely merged into Ixos, as it is quite closely related to the type species of Hypsipetes, the black bulbul (H. leucocephalus). A common and adaptable bird as long as sufficient forest remains, it is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
