Clicked: February of 2006
In: Western Rajasthan
Gear: Fuji Finepix S5600
Continuing with the desert birds series, when I clicked this bird, that time based on my Salim Ali Handbook, I took it to be a Himalayan Bulbul, as the name white-cheeked Bulbul was used to describe both that and this. But was pretty surprised to find it way out of its range, a bit more research then led me to classify it to myself as the 'White-eared Bulbul'. The other distinctive feature being the lack of crest. Well, now even wiki has a page for it.
And I learnt while posting it now, that it is also, rather primarily known as the Iraqi Bulbul.
Well, going by its range, I guess it should rather be called the Pakistani Bulbul.😇
