The Red-faced Barbet is a striking African barbet recognized by its bright red facial markings and mostly green body plumage. It's a vocal and often conspicuous resident of lowland forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests, gallery forests, and mature secondary growth across West and Central Africa, from Sierra Leone to Angola and western Uganda.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, booming territorial calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy for its green body and distinctive red face. They often perch on exposed branches in fruit trees.
When to spot
Year-round; most vocal and active during the early morning and late afternoon.
