The Black-browed Barbet is a vibrant, medium-sized barbet known for its predominantly green plumage punctuated by colorful facial markings, including a distinctive black brow. It inhabits subtropical and tropical forests, where its calls are a prominent sound.
Where to spot
Found in subtropical and tropical moist lowland forests, as well as montane forests, across parts of Southeast Asia, including Taiwan, southern China, and parts of Indochina.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, resonant, and often repeated 'toot-toot-toot' call. Look for it foraging for fruit in the mid-canopy of tall trees. Its green plumage can make it blend in well, so observe patches of fruiting trees carefully.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year, with vocalisations peaking during the breeding season (typically March to July). Early mornings are generally the most active period.

The specific scientific name 'oorti' honors Dutch ornithologist Pierre Antoine Oort, reflecting the historical exploration and classification of this species.
