These 2 Bulbuls arrived and left together. I requested ID help with the eye-wattled bird as it did not seem Red-eyed/wattled and it was suggested that it is a hybrid. |

The red eye ring does seem a little lighter than usual, but given the individual variation possible in birds, I'm not sure that one can definitively say it's a hybrid. Certainly an interesting discussion point, and given that this is right on the interface between the two species where hybrids are always more likely. |
