The Gilded Barbet is a brightly colored barbet, easily recognized by its golden-yellow plumage on the head and breast, contrasting with a green body. It is a widespread species in the Amazonian lowlands, frequently encountered in various forest types.
Where to spot
Inhabits a wide variety of humid tropical forests, including lowland evergreen forest, gallery forest, and secondary growth across much of the Amazon Basin.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, repetitive 'pok' or 'tooh' calls, which are often the first indication of its presence. Look for its bright golden head as it forages for fruit in the mid to upper canopy. It often joins mixed-species flocks.
When to spot
Present year-round. Most vocal during the early mornings and late afternoons, and during the breeding season.
