White-Cheeked Barbet
It was a cloudy day with poor light and so I had to be really steady to get this fellow clearly. A commonly found bird in my backyard often seen feasting on the guava growing in the courtyard.
Also called the Small Green Barbet, this is a species of barbet found in southern India. This species has a distinctive supercilium and a broad white cheek stripe below the eye and is endemic to the forest areas of the Western Ghats and adjoining hills.
