The race in Burma resembles the Indian form in every respect, except that 

 the hair-like crimson feathers below and behind the eye are darker and shorter 

 than in the Bengal race, and the white ear-patch is a little larger. I did not 

 observe this bird beyond ; in the Sanda valley to the eastward its place appears to 

 be taken by Pycnonotm xanthorrhous, Andr.

This species is common at Bham6, and in the Kakhyen hills, but I did not 

 observe it beyond the Sanda valley. 



The young has the head deep brown, and the tail feathers brown, w ith distinct 

 indications of barring, with deep brown when held in certain lights.
