Psilopogon [asiaticus or chersonesus] (Blue-throated or Turquoise-throated Barbet)

Blue-throated or Turquoise-throated Barbet

Psilopogon [asiaticus or chersonesus] (= Psilopogon asiaticus) (Latham, J 1790)

The blue-throated barbet is an Asian barbet native to the foothills of the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It inhabits lowland and montane forests at elevations of 200–2,000 m (660–6,560 ft). It has bright green, blue and red plumage. The barbets get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills; this species eats fruits and insects. Source: Wikipedia
