Nepali Name: बाख्रे जुरेली (Bakhre Jureli)
The Black Bulbul (Hypsipetes
leucocephalus), also known as the
Himalayan Black Bulbul or Asian Black
Bulbul , is a member of the bulbul family of
passerine birds . It is found in southern Asia
from Nepal east to southern China. It is the
type species of the genus Hypsipetes,
established by Nicholas Aylward Vigors in
the early 1830s. [2] There are a number of
subspecies across Asia, mostly varying in
the shade of the body plumage (ranging
from grey to black), and some also occur in
white-headed morphs (as also suggested by
its specific epithet leucocephalus, literally
"white head"). The legs and bill are always
rich orange-red. The related form from the
Western Ghats and Sri Lanka is often treated
as a separated species, the Square-tailed
Bulbul ( Hypsipetes ganeesa ).
