Alophoixus tephrogenys or commonly known as the Grey-cheeked Bulbul is a small bulbul with a stocky appearance measuring around 22 cm. The Grey-cheeked Bulbul is very similar to the Yellow-bellied Bulbul, but has a crest, grey cheeks and lacks the yellow tip on the tail in comparison (Gumal et al., 2008). It occurs from Myanmar through the Malay Peninsula to the Greater Sundas and Palawan in the Philippines. Its habitat includes the forests and the forest edges. Locally, this bulbul is common from low elevation to 1000 m above sea level, south to Johor. It is quite frequent to observe this bulbul on the lower and middle storeys as well as along forest trails (Jeyarajasingam, 2012).
