The White-cheeked Barbet or Small Green Barbet (Megalaima viridis) is a species of barbet found in southern India and is endemic to the forest areas of the Western Ghats and adjoining hills. They are mainly frugivorous.
These barbets are arboreal and will rarely visit the ground. They obtain most of the water they need from their fruit diet. When water is available in a tree hole, they will sometimes drink and bathe
