Spotted in Suan Luang last weekend.

1. looks like a Red-eyed Bulbul but according to the guide it is not common in Central Thailand, so I am not sure...

2. the same as 3. and 4. ?

3. + 4. Is this a Streak-eared Bulbul?

1 is a prinia, prob a non-breeding Rufescent
rest look ok for Streak-eared Bulbuls

Hi birdyboyb and crodol, basically I agree with this, but to me the tail seems a bit too long, and the supercilium too thick? for a Rufescent, how about Plain imm. (bill color)?

Just my thoughts...

plain prinia is the only likely species in Bangkok

Plain was the only other consideration....what threw me was the fieldguide shows Plain as having a dark bill, not pinkish as in pic

The prina look like a non breeding Plain Prina to me.
