Western Yellow-billed Barbet Trachylaemus goffinii

A large brightly colored barbet of forests and forest edges. Distinctive with its bright yellow bill, dark head, back, and tail, and yellow belly. There is regional variation within the species, especially prominent on the throat, which can be dark with small pale speckles or heavily streaked with whitish. Found in rainforest and lower montane forest, usually in the understory, and especially in treefall gaps, and along forest edges. Voice consists of a low “oop” or “op-oop” given in slow succession, sometimes for several minutes.
