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).[2]
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.[3]
