Black bulbul



This is Hypsipetes leucocephalus although I don't know why. This variation does not have a white head! I also need to check whether the taxonomy is current. I have seen this bird before but never photographed it. This was a very distant shot, cropped to a reasonable size but showing the effects. Its status in HK is "classic irruption species, common and widespread in some years... scarce or absent in others."
