Comment:   May be the shadow, but I cannot see a red eye, which would mean a Dark-capped Bulbul, which is very out of range!

Comment:   Whole back of the head is black, more typical of a Red-eyed Bulbul. I assume this is a sub-adult Red-eyed Bulbul, which has a pale pink eye-ring, not visible in the low light in this photo
