Red-headed Barbet

The Red-headed Barbet adult male has a vivid red head, green upperparts, and largely yellow underparts, giving this compact bird a strongly contrasting appearance. Green wings and tail match the back, while olive-green streaks mark the yellow belly below an orange-red breast. Its red crown and cheeks form a distinctive facial pattern around the dark eyes and stout, pale ivory bill.
