One critical difference...although both look alike...the woodshrike has a small hook at the tip of the beak. This is a Bulbul. Thanks for bringing it up!!

Sorry shanxix it is not a bulbul! Please check online and you'll see the 2 species are not even similar. Yours is 100% the woodshrike - which i illustrated in the Indian field guide so I do know what I'm on about 👍
