        Why don't you think it's a bulbul? I think the resemblance is pretty evident:

    Pycnonotus barbatus (common bulbul) vs Pycnonotus tricolor (Dark-capped bulbul) some confusion slipped into these two birds files. and in this case I think it could be the subspecies layardi (Pycnonotus tricolor layardi (se Kenya to e, s Zambia, ne Botswana and South Africa)).
