The black-collared bulbul (Neolestes torquatus), or black-collared greenbul, is a species of
monotypic within the genus Neolestes.[2] For many years, some authorities considered the genus to belong to the bushshrike or shrike families due to shape and plumage similarities until a review of molecular genetic relationships in 1999 confirmed the behavioural and morphological affinities to Pycnonotidae.[3]
The black-collared bulbul is found in equatorial Africa in its natural habitat of dry savanna.[1]
