o:) Super and beautiful portrait of this stunner!!! :t: :t: :clap: But I'm afraid it's not a P. goiavier, for me it's the White-eared Bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis), but I might be wrong (I don't know well the species of your area)...

Hi Marian,
Thank you for correcting me with the exact scientific name. The more common ones found here in the Middle East(UAE) are named after the colors at two areas; the whiskers and the vent.
so what I have here is Yellow vented bulbul (whose whiskers are white).
Another similar species is Red whiskered bulbul (it is very common in india)
