The yellow-browed bulbul, or golden-browed bulbul, is a songbird of the forests of southern India and Sri Lanka. It is mainly yellow below and olive above, with a distinct yellow eyebrow. It is easily located by its loud calls but tends to skulk within foliage below the forest canopy (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is the only species in its genus, Acritillas, and a 2018 study indicated its nearest living relative is Hemixos flavala. Three subspecies are recognised. Nationally Least Concern (Sri Lanka National Red List 2012, listed as Iole indica).
