Sykes’ Oriole. 
Oriolus Kundoo, Sykes, Proc. Comm. Sci. & Corr. Zool. Soc. p. 87, 1832. 
The bird here represented is given as a species on the authority of Colonel Sykes, and drawn 
from a specimen contained in that gentleman’s collection. 
Colonel Sykes remarks that it is of the size of our Golden Oriole, and much resembling the 
female of that bird; but the bill is always very dark brown, and the irides reddish-brown instead 
of lake. The sexes are alike. 
Habitat, Dukhun. 
The upper parts of the body are greenish-yellow; the rump, the sides of the body, the inner 
webs and tips of the tail feathers, bright yellow; the wings are olive-brown ; the under parts of the 
body are dirty white, with brown stripes down the centres of the feathers.
