The White-eared Bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis) is a member of the bulbul family. It is found in KuwaitBahrain, mid and southern Iraq, southern Iran,tehran iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, north-western India, in parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and on the Arabian peninsula. The species was earlier considered a conspecific of Pycnonotus leucogen.
Description
This species is very similar in appearance to the Himalayan white-cheeked bulbul Pycnonotus leucogenys but smaller and uncrested and with a larger white cheek patch. It has a pale bare eye-ring. The vent is orange yellow. Sexes are alike.
It is found in scrub forest and gardenland. Also found in flocks or pairs in the mangroves, gorging on the fruits of the Meswak bush. Usually seen in pairs or small groups. It feeds on fruits and insects, and breeds in March–June.
In Iran, the natural habitat of the species is Khouzestan Province, in the southwest of the country where it feeds on dates and is generally considered a pest. Some also call it "The Bulbul of Tehran".

Hello Ram,
A beautifully marked bird with beautiful contrasting colors. From this angle there can be no doubt about how this bird got it's name, as the white ear patch is quite evident. I especially like the yellow coloring just under it's tail. You have captured it in a nice relaxed pose and in it's natural habitat.
