Found across the India, China and Southeast Asia, the Green Bulbul, more commonly known as the Golden-fronted Leafbird, has a song-like chirping call but is also adept at mimicking others birds (MacKinnon et al, A Field Guide to the Birds of China, Oxford, 2000, no. 608, p. 257). As seen here, the bird has electric green plumage and bright orange forehead.
