In Keoladeo NP in India I encountered a white-eared bulbul for the first time.
The white-eared bulbul has a brownish-gray body and appears rotund. The tail tapers outwards, starting black and ending in white tips. The head and throat are black with an area around the cheeks having a large white spot. The eye-ring is bare and it has a short beak. The legs are bluish-gray to slaty black. The vent is bright yellow, but none of my photos capture that.

It is found in far-western India, much of Pakistan, southern Afghanistan, coastal Iran and portions of Iraq, Kuwait and Bahrain.
