Black Spotted Barbet

Medium-sized sluggish bird of rainforest canopy. From below note size and sharply demarcated red throat on both sexes. Also occurs in secondary forests and overgrown plantations, sometimes in urban areas. Often seen in pairs at fruiting trees or with mixed-species flocks. Forages slowly and deliberately, feeding on fruit and insects. Often-heard call is a low-pitched, doubled hoot, repeated in series.
