Spotted
The Brown-headed Barbet is a common and widespread Asian barbet, characterized by its green body, brown head with prominent white streaking, and a yellow eye-ring. It is a resident of woodlands and gardens.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, gardens, cultivated areas, and urban parks across Sri Lanka and peninsular India.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, repetitive 'kutroo-kutroo' or 'pop-pop-pop' calls. Look for its green body and distinctive brown and white striped head in fruiting trees or on exposed branches.
When to spot
Year-round; highly vocal, especially during the breeding season (around December to September). Best observed in the early morning.

Despite its often drab-sounding name, the Brown-headed Barbet's white streaking on its head gives it a distinctive appearance, making it easily identifiable.
