If I could find a Greenbul/Bulbul with pink/red legs I'd go for it but they all appear to have grey or black legs.

My take was Green/Brownbul, but given the photo quality and my lack of intel in these genera, I wouldn't be able to say which.

Wild guess Malcolm: bush blackcap? Fits a few criteria, not really the habitat. I'm so unsure I'm not using the suggestion box :-)
