White-Cheeked Barbet
Clicked from the living room window while it was feasting on guava. A very strong flier. Diet consists mostly of fruits that it tears open with its powerful beak. Has a white cheek stripe with grass-green plumage above and white breast streaked brown. Also known in India as the Small Green Barbet. They play an important role in forests as seed dispersal agents. Their fruit eating makes them a nuisance in fruit orchards where often they leave behind half-eaten fruits.
