Key differences

Historically considered a subspecies of Common Bulbul, now often treated as a separate species. The main difference is the lack of a yellow vent in P. tricolor, which has a whitish or buffy vent. Field identification can be challenging where ranges overlap or are adjacent, relying heavily on vent coloration and subtle vocal differences.
