Scarlet-crowned Barbet (Capito aurovirens)
About the Scarlet-crowned Barbet
The scarlet-crowned barbet (Capito aurovirens) is a species of bird in the family Capitonidae, the New World barbets. It is found in Amazonian Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The scarlet-crowned barbet is monotypic. The New World barbets are more closely related to the toucan barbets (family Semnornithidae) and toucans (family Ramphastidae) than they are to the Asian and African barbets (families Megalaimidae and Lybiidae) despite all of the barbets' similar appearance.
