About the Yellow-bearded Greenbul
The yellow-bearded greenbul (Criniger olivaceus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in western Africa. Alternatively, the yellow-bearded greenbul has been classified in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda) and has also been considered as conspecific with the white-bearded greenbul. Alternate names for the yellow-bearded greenbul include the olive bulbul, olive greenbul, olive-bearded bulbul, yellow-bearded bulbul, yellow-throated olive bulbul and yellow-throated olive greenbul. The name 'olive bulbul' should not be confused with the species of the same name, Iole virescens. It is found in West Africa from eastern Sierra Leone to south-western Ghana.
