Juvenile bulbul

Based on this specimen's somewhat unkempt feathers and less defined colourings, I suspect it may be a juvenile Common bulbul / Pycnonotus barbatus / Bulbul des jardins. Clicked in Agbodrafo, Togo.

Bulbul

This bird is quite common here but easily overlooked because of its less outstanding colourings. I looked it up in my birds book long ago but only took a decent picture of it recently.

It's a Common bulbul / Pycnonotus barbatus / Bulbul des jardins, clicked in Agbodrafo, Togo. I find it very elegant in an unassuming way.

A friendly reminder: I'm very flattered when you appreciate my pictures. Much less if you use them without prior permission. Please contact me if you intend using any material posted on this blog. Thank you!
