Finsch's Bulbul
The day I was there was very cloudy with hints of rain. The light was all grey and there was very high humidity leading to fogging over the lens. Absolutely horrible conditions but nothing could be done about it so here we go.
Finsch's bulbul (Alophoixus finschii) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found on the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Finsch's bulbul was originally described in the genus Criniger until moved to the genus Alophoixus in 2009. Alternate names for Finsch's bulbul include the dwarf bearded bulbul, dwarf bulbul and Finsch's bearded bulbul. The common name and scientific name commemorate the German ethnographer, naturalist and colonial explorer Friedrich Hermann Otto Finsch.
