Dark-capped Bulbul
(Pycnonotus tricolor)

This section is still under construction! Although mostly functional, there is still plenty of information missing and many images are waiting to be added. We are working as quickly as we can...
The Dark-capped Bulbul is mostly greyish brown above and whitish brown below, with a distinctive dark head and pointy crest on top of the head. The back of the head merges into the brown of the back, and the chin is also blackish.
The underparts are grey-brown apart from yellow around the vent.
The bill is fairly short and thin, with a slightly downcurving upper mandible.
The bill, legs, and feet are black and the eye is dark brown with a dark eye-ring, which is not readily visible.
Sexes are similar.
The call is a loud doctor-quick doctor-quick be-quick be-quick.
