About

The black-collared bulbul (Neolestes torquatus), or black-collared greenbul, is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is monotypic within the genus Neolestes. For many years, its genus was considered to belong to the bushshrike or shrike families due to morphological similarities until a review of molecular genetics in 1999 confirmed that it belongs to the family Pycnonotidae.
