I always find Olive-winged Bulbul to be extremely annoying..... because that olive wasnt really obvious, then when you think, issit another brown bulbul that I had never met, then cheh.... the lup sup Olive-winged again...... I rank this as probably the 3rd commonest bulbul in Malaysia, after Yellow-vented and Stripe-throated, but Stripe-throated is not common in lowlands of south Peninsular, but up here in the north, the second easily met after Yellow-vented.......

Thanks again

Hmm..a bit hard. Is it forest area or just kampung bushes. If forest then could be olive winged but if kampung bushes, streak eared bulbul is cery common in northern kedah n perlis...
From my field experience, streak eared bulbul has light blue iris...donno if there's variation...
