Spotted
The Western Slaty-backed Barbet is a relatively large and stout barbet, characterized by its dark, slaty-grey back and vibrant underparts. It prefers the humid forests of the Amazon basin, where it spends its time foraging for fruits and insects.
Where to spot
Found in humid tropical and subtropical lowland forests in the western Amazon Basin, including parts of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, hooting calls, which can carry through the forest. Look for large, heavy-billed birds in the mid to upper canopy, especially near fruiting trees. Its dark back contrasts with its lighter underparts.
When to spot
Present throughout the year. Best observed during the dry season when birds might be more concentrated around available food sources, and vocal activity can be higher in the mornings.

This species is often considered a 'sister' species to the Eastern Slaty-backed Barbet, with their ranges largely separated by geographical barriers like major rivers.
