@CGSwans are you sure it wasn't the white-headed morph of Black bulbul, Hypsipetes leucocephalus, that you saw? They also have a similar white head and are listed on zootierliste for Beauval.
There are some striking differences between the two, however, and if you did see thomsoni I suppose Beauval has gotten hold of a new interesting species! I definitely wouldn't put it past them.![]()
Today we ( my wife and I ) went to Belgium and visited the Olmense Zoo, one of the few collections with still a good collection of Passerines. I can add no less then 16 new species to my year-list, missed even some and from one I still have to find out which species it is !

Zootierliste mention another 4 species of passerines which should be kept at the Olmense Zoo but these I didn't found ( orange-headed ground thrush, pin-tailed whydah, red-crested cardinal and Sahel paradise whydah ). Esp. this last one is a pitty I didn't see it because the Olmense Zoo should be the only public collection in Europe with this species.....

Should actually be 93. Black-naped oriole Oriolus chinensis.93. African golden oriole Oriolus auratus
I changed the name of #50 but left everything else untouched (so that Vision's reply makes sense).Just looked at a photo and yes, it was a black bulbul. The sign was very confusing, then. Thanks!
(Chlidonias, could you make the appropriate edit?)
