Bulbul problems with ID in Malaysia (1 Viewer)

Greetings, I was in the Penang Botanical Gardens this morning. I saw three different birds that seem to be Bulbuls. The first I think is an Olive Winged, the second bird, picture 2 and 3, could be Red Eye Bulbul. Buff Vented or Spectacled. The third bird, the last two pictures, is also a toss up for me to identify but it is fun to see the two birds going at each other. Finally a cool picture of a Crested Myna...can't seem to spot the Jungle Myna

orange eye = Red-eyed Bulbul.
1st pic - correct, can see the olive outer wing = Olive-winged Bulbul

James

ps - Jason, note it's peninsular Malaysia, so the Cream-vented there have white eyes (+ in addition, in Borneo, Cream-vented has a red, not orange eye, which separates it easiest from Red-eyed there).

Aha thanks for the tip for the CVB in Peninsular.

So it is the red eye bulbul?
