The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.
It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green. The Chinese name for the bird, "five-colored bird" (五色鳥) refers to the five colors seen on its plumage. Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of a percussion instrument known as a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan.

They are mainly fruit eating but will take sometimes insects, especially winged termites.
Habitat and distribution
It is a resident found in South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia.
Throughout their wide range they are found in gardens, groves and sparse woodland. Habitats with trees having dead wood suitable for excavation is said to be important. Birds nest and roost in cavities.
In the Palni Hills of southern India it is said to occur below 4000 feet. In the Himalayas it is found mainly in the valleys of the outer Himalayas up to 3000 feet. They are rare in the dry desert zones and the very wet forests.

The Brown-headed Barbet, which is endemic to the Indian subcontinent, is not uncommon wherever there are trees, even in cities. Its "ku-turr, ku-turr" call is a characteristic sound of Indian woods. This bird was tending to a chick in the nest, totally oblivious of the constant stream of people walking on the path right below. This was at the District Park in Paschim Vihar (West Delhi), near my parent's apartment. It is a small island of green in an area that is now densely populated on all sides. Like other such urban parks in Delhi, it can be very rewarding to spend some time here. May 13, 2017.

A Coppersmith Barbet, (Megalaima haemacephala) was found during an early morning foraging, choosing carefully the yellow ripe fruits among the green ones and I had the luck to choose him in a natural pose.
