Five-colored Barbet - Capito quinticolor Nick Athanas 2013-05-10 San Francisco, Esmeraldas, Esmeraldas (Ecuador) (140 m) song -

Male at close range in a tree about 6 m above me. Filtered (with gradual slope) below 300 Hz and above 12000 Hz. There is some wind noise in the first part of the cut. Another individual can be heard singing in the background. This is a very soft vocalization, so I didn't amplify it much.

Five-colored Barbet - Capito quinticolor Daniel Lane 25-07-1997 30km SE San Lorenzo, Esmeraldas, Esmeraldas (Ecuador) (120 m) song (B) - Song of male first, then female (more off-mic) from about 25m up in disturbed tropical forest along road (Cecropia-dominated). Responding to playback from Colombia, crossing road repeatedly in response. When singing, points head down onto breast, bill barely open, and pumps head slightly, head inflated; tail not moved, hangs down. Female did not respond as strongly as male to playback, only turning head. Pair collected (LSUMZ); indications of breeding at this time of year. 71430

Five-colored Barbet - Capito quinticolor Daniel Lane 27-07-1997 30km SE San Lorenzo, Esmeraldas, Esmeraldas (Ecuador) (120 m) song (B) - Countersinging pairs. The female (higher-pitched voice) on-mic was collected after this series (MECN), her song performance very like males, but perhaps with more tail motion. Usually, when a male is singing, a female is within 2m of him, often preening. Disturbed secondary woodland with Cecropia, balsa, and understory of ferns. 71501
