Hello,
I have spotted this lone bird which behaved slightly differnetly from the Bulbul and I decided to take some pictures of it. Looking at the picture in detail, it is indeed not a Bulbul. After spending some time researching its correct name,
the nearest I could figure out is, it is a Pied Triller.
Please correct me if I were wrong and please provide correct name for this bird.

Thank you,
kc.

Hi Leekc - welcome to the forum.

I can't say I'm familiar with pied triller (cuckooshrike), but looking around at pictures, I thought this picture of an immature one does look a lot like yours.

Yes it does look like a Pied Triller, but I think it is an adult female.
