Spotted
The White-mantled Barbet is a distinctive barbet species known for its striking white mantle or back, which contrasts sharply with its darker head and underparts. It inhabits humid tropical forests, where it forages for a diet mainly composed of fruits.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid tropical lowland and montane forests of the Chocó region, spanning western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for this barbet in the mid to upper canopy. Its bright white back is a clear identification mark, even from a distance. While not overly vocal, listen for occasional soft calls or the sounds of it moving through vegetation.
When to spot
Active year-round within its localized range. Observation is often best during the early morning hours when foraging activity is highest.

Its 'mantle' refers to the white patch on its back, resembling a cloak, which is quite unusual among barbets and makes it relatively easy to identify.
