Black-girdled Barbet (Capito dayi)
About the Black-girdled Barbet
The black-girdled barbet (Capito dayi) is a species of bird in the family Capitonidae, the New World barbets. It is found in Brazil and Bolivia. Since its description in 1916, the black-girdled barbet has almost always been recognized as a species. However, it was briefly considered to be a subspecies of black-spotted barbet (Capito niger). DNA data have shown it instead to be sister to five-colored barbet (C. quinticolor). The black-girdled barbet is monotypic. Its specific epithet dayi honors Lee Garnet Day, one of the leaders of the expedition that discovered the bird.
