Flame-throated Bulbul



My first bird in Goa's Backwoods Camp on 8th March 2013 was this bird. Light condition being very poor I couldn't get a decent image of the bird. After that it remained elusive for the rest of my stay there only to reappear on the last morning when a pair sat on a branch right outside the main building of the resort and happily sang for a long time.

This bird was earlier considered a sub-species (Gularis) of Black-headed Bulbul. Now it has been split.
