Ebird describes it as "A medium-sized bird of lowland and foothill forest and edge on Palawan and neighboring islands. Yellow below with an olive-green back, brown wings and tail, a gray cheek, and a white throat. Note the fairly stout bill and slightly flattened bushy crest. Somewhat similar to Palawan Babbler, but has a yellow belly, an obvious crest, and dark eyes. Voice consists of three descending high-pitched notes, or else a rattling trill followed by dry staccato notes.[2]
Until 2010, it was considered a subspecies of the grey-cheeked bulbul.[3] The alternate name 'grey-throated bulbul' is also used by the western greenbul.
Diet is unknown. Typically observed alone or in pairs. [4]
