# Ansorge's greenbul

Ansorge's greenbul (Eurillas ansorgei) or Ansorge's bulbul, is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in western and central Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

## Taxonomy and systematics

Ansorge's greenbul was originally described in the genus Andropadus and was re-classified to the genus Eurillas in 2010. Alternatively, some authorities classify Ansorge's greenbul in the genus Pycnonotus. Some authorities have considered Ansorge's greenbul as a subspecies of the little grey greenbul. The common name and scientific name commemorate the British explorer and collector William John Ansorge who collected natural history specimens in Africa.
