Barbet Red-and-Yellow (Trachyphonus erythrocephalus) male – Kenya

Endemic to North East Africa this super image of the Red-and-Yellow Barbet was taken by my friend Carmel Greenwood while in Kenya and is added as a Guest Photographer with thanks.  A much better image to what I saw in Ethiopia, it displays the tail quite clearly. The male is distinctive from the female with larger black patch on the head and reddish collar around the throat.
