There are so many steak-ear bulbul in Thailand.
One day I go to Kanchanaburi, a province west near sountern part of Burma.
I found some bulbul seem look like difference that I have been found.
I curious what kind of birds, It is a common steak-ear or another like olive bulbul.

Thank you so much for kindly help.

Hi David

I would say a Streak-eared Bulbul - IMG 125 shows the streaks very clearly.

What about Ayeyarwady Bulbul? It looks like they also occur in Kanchanaburi. I have no experience separating them though, so can't give any other advice.

Did you hear it make any sound by chance, streak-eared is quite recognizable by voice i believe.

Thank you for all comments that make me more knownleage especialy in suggestion of Ayeyarwady Bulbul. Unluckily that I do not have a voice or a clear picture of iris. But it so possible because two species is cospecific.

The iris looks grey to me, Ayeyarwady Bulbul has reddish eyes AFAIK.

Can we rule out Olive winged?

If I understand well, the nominative subspecies that occur on the Malay peninsula has dark eyes...

Yes David, Olive-winged's range lies entirely to the south of the OP location. In Thailand it ranges north to n Chumphon.

Hope everyone fine, I will give more detail about the location of this bird. The picture taken from the children's school near the river Kwai.

But the farthest site of the Ayeyawaddy Bulbul from the border of Burma-Thailand is up to 100 km. north (Khao Leam National Park).
This area is a a popular tourist attacktion (like Saphan Mon) and many photographers can take a picture a Ayeyawaddy Bulbu there.

I think my location is too far from there.
