Versicolored Barbet (Eubucco versicolor)
About the Versicolored Barbet
The versicolored barbet (Eubucco versicolor) is a very colorful species of bird in the family Capitonidae, the New World barbets. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. The versicolored barbet was described by Statius Müller in 1776 as Bucco versicolor, based on a specimen collected in Maynas Province, Peru. Its taxonomy is in flux. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (AOS), the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), and the Clements taxonomy treat it as one species with three subspecies. The HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World treats the three as individual species. The three subspecies are: E. v. steerii ("blue-cowled") Sclater & Salvin (1878) E. v. glaucogularis ("blue-chinned") Tschudi (1844)
