White-Cheeked Barbet

Like many other barbets of Asia, these birds sit still and perch upright making them difficult to spot. During the breeding season which begins at the start of summer their calls become loud and constant especially in the mornings. They have a monotonous Kot-roo ... Kotroo... call. The head is brownish streaked with white, sometimes giving it a capped appearance. The bill is pale pinkish.
