Red Vented Bulbul at Ajanta

On our trip to Ajanta we were exploring the ancient caves walking on the corridor of the caves. I spotted two red vented bulbul between the leaves of the trees.  

Their body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white. 

From the view point for thew caves there was this beautiful red flowers.
