Common Name-Coppersmith Barbet or Crimson-breasted Barbet

I found this bird in its hole (that it had made on a bamboo pole). It is a small bird with a green body. I think it is alone as of now or is in search of a partner.
The photos are not focused properly as I never had my specs on when I shot these two photos, moreover the light was also not sufficient, had to use the hood flash. I am waiting to take a better shot of the same bird.
Thank you Nabarun Sadhya and HGM for helping me identify the bird.
