Spotted
The Brown Barbet is a unique Asian barbet, distinguished by its dull, smoky brown plumage, a pale bill, and often subtle yellow or reddish facial markings. It inhabits lowland forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests and secondary growth in Southeast Asia, including Borneo and Sumatra.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often rhythmic 'put-put-put' calls. Scan the mid to lower canopy of dense forests. Its drab coloration makes it challenging to spot, so patience and keen listening are essential.
When to spot
Year-round; active during the day, often heard calling more than seen.

Unlike the typical brightly colored Asian barbets, the Brown Barbet's subdued plumage helps it blend in with the dense forest undergrowth.
