Fire-tufted Barbet

Piciformes - Megalaimidae - Psilopogon pyrolophus (Takur Jumbai-api)

Beautiful emerald-green barbet. Note silvery cheeks, white forehead, and black chinstrap; namesake reddish tuft above the base of the bill is small and often difficult to see from a distance. Bulbous horn-colored bill has a large dark smudge down the center. Strange song is a loud accelerating creaking that is reminiscent of rusty machinery revving up.
