This guy was just drying out after a dip in the nearby stream. Amongst a small group of bulbuls which flew off before I realized this one (at least) was rather unique...

I agree that this looks like a juvenile Red-whiskered. It's usual for the juveniles to be less red (more orange) on the vent than adults and to lack the red 'whiskers'.
Yellow-vented is quite a different bird (especially head pattern), and I don't see much evidence for relevant plumage features on this individual. Author: hdmiller Time: 18/08/2014 18:09
Thanks for setting me straight Gentlemen.
