Mountain greenbul
# Mountain greenbul

The mountain greenbul (Arizelocichla nigriceps), or eastern mountain greenbul, is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in eastern Africa.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The mountain greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda), then classified in Andropadus and, in 2010 re-classified to the new genus Arizelocichla. Alternatively, some authorities classify the mountain greenbul in the genus Pycnonotus. Some authorities also consider the olive-breasted greenbul to be a subspecies of the mountain greenbul, while others consider the mountain greenbul itself to be a subspecies of the western greenbul. The common name, 'mountain greenbul', is also used as an alternate name for the western and Cameroon greenbuls.
