This bulbul lives in broadleaf forests on hills and mountains. Its streaked plumage is distinctive, and it may move in noisy groups.
Fine streaks run from the head down the body. The dark lines over a paler ground color are a useful field mark.
It uses hill and mountain forests and often moves in small, vocal groups.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
