Remarks
Formerly assigned to Thapsinillas but that genus is embedded in Hypsipetes (Shakya & Sheldon 2017); moved to Hypsipetes. H. longirostris s.l. is split from H. affinis (Fishpool & Tobias 2005; Collar 2007). Note gender. Sula Golden Bulbul Hypsipetes longirostris is split from the Northern Golden Bulbul complex Hypsipetes longirostris s.l. on the basis of differences in plumage and vocalizations (Collar et al. 2013; Eaton et al. 2021; del Hoyo & Collar 2016; HBW/BirdLife). Change English name from Northern Golden Bulbul to Sula Golden Bulbul with the split of the Hypsipetes longirostris species complex.
