Indian Birds 
This species differs from the Red-vented 
Bulbuls in its somewhat smaller size, its 
‘shorter crest and in having a large white patch 
on each side of the head, and the patch of 
feathers under the tail yellow instead of 
crimson. 
Found only in the north-west portion of 
India. In the cold weather its range extends 
into the Province of Agra and the C. P., but in 
the spring it migrates to the west and breeds in 
Sind, the Frontier Province, and the Western

taken in Rajputana, Katywar, and Cutch. (Illus. 
G. B., p. 96; also F. I., p. 252.)

The breast and lower plumage are white. The
