Hiina bülbül, Pycnonotus sinensis formosae

Hiina bülbüli Taiwani alamliik formosae elutseb ainult Taiwani peasaarel ning erineb põhiliigist selle poolest, et tema kõhualune on heledam ja ilma kollaste triipudeta ning valge "müts" on laiem.  Kusjuures Taiwani ida- ja kaguosa on hetkel veel linnu sugulasliigi Taivani bülbüli kontrolli all (ehk siis seal antud bülbüli ei leidu), kuigi Hiina bülbül üritab läbi liikide segunemise ka sinna imbuda. Kõlab natuke nagu poliitiline kommentaar :) Foto tehtud Taichungi pargis.
The subspecies formosae of light-vented bulbul is found only on the main island of Taiwan and differs from the nominate species by having a lighter belly without yellow streaks and also wider white patch on the head. It must be mentioned that the east and south-east coast of the island is at the moment still controlled by Styan's Bulbul (i.e. light-vented bulbul is not found there) but through the hybridization of the two species, Styan's bulbul's is already in a vulnerable status. The photo was taken in Taichung Park.
