The cream-striped bulbul (Ixos leucogrammicus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. [1] [2] It is endemic to western Sumatra (Indonesia).

The cream-striped bulbul was originally described in the genus Ixos and later moved to Pycnonotus, but recent phylogenetic analysis found it as sister to the three Hemixos species, leading to a genus reassignment. [2] [3] Alternate names for the cream-striped bulbul include the streaked bulbul (not to be confused with Ixos malaccensis ), striated bulbul or striated green bulbul (each not to be confused with Pycnonotus striatus ) and Sumatran bulbul.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
