[[Category:Zamboanga bulbul]]

The Zamboanga bulbul (Hypsipetes rufigularis) is a songbird species in the bulbul family (Pycnonotidae).

It was one of the species of Ixos that now usually warrants inclusion in the genus Hypsipetes – as long as this is kept separate from Ixos – as it may be a close relative of the Philippine bulbul (H. philippinensis), which in turn is closely related to the type species of Hypsipetes, the black bulbul (H. leucocephalus).

It is endemic to the Philippines, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.

Zamboanga bulbul is endemic to Mindanao, Philippines, where it is known from around Lake Lanao (Meyer de Schauensee and duPont 1962) and the Zamboanga Peninsula, plus Basilan including Malamaui (Dickinson et al. 1991). Although characterised as "common in forest and forest edge" (Dickinson et al. 1991), recent evidence—an almost fruitless search in the Zamboango City watershed—suggests that it is fairly uncommon and possibly suffering from habitat loss within its somewhat restricted range (G. C. L. Dutson in litt. 1994).
