Pycnonotus sinensis: Reminds Me of the Wife
That bird is a Chinese Bulbul, also known as a Light-vented Bulbul.
In Japan, it's called a Shirogashira ( シロガシラ).
The photo was taken using a Pentax K5 and Sigma 50-500 lens at 500mm.

Every time I hear one of those birds squawking, it reminds me of the missus yelling...

Wilflife Photo: Chinese Bulbul, A Bird Found in Okinawa
THE CHINESE BULBUL (Pycnonotus sinensis) IS AN EXTREMELY LOUD SONGBIRD !
Being about 80% hearing disabled, I have to love these characters. Some folks complain about how noisy they are but, I enjoy hearing flocks of them singing their little hearts out. They're found in many locations throughout Asia.
Also known as the Light-vented Bulbul, people in Hong Kong call them White-headed Old Men. Well, I think White-headed Old Women would be more appropriate if you want to nickname a noisy bird.
Like this morning, the wife is trying to remind me to take out the trash. I thought she said "Don't forget the cash". So, I ask her what I need cash for. Well, then she yells, "NOT CASH-TRASH, IT'S TRASH COLLECTION DAY TODAY. I SAID, DON'T FORGET THE TRASH !"
It was so loud all the White-headed Old Men in my garden flew away. Last time I saw them, I think they were headed for KOREA where they can get some peace and quiet !
