Black-browed Barbet (Psilopogon oorti)
About the Black-browed Barbet
The black-browed barbet (Psilopogon oorti) is an Asian barbet native to Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra, where it inhabits foremost forests between 600 and 2,000 m (2,000 and 6,600 ft) altitude. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution and stable population. Bucco oortii was the scientific name proposed by Salomon Müller in 1835 who described a barbet specimen collected in Sumatra. It was placed in the genus Megalaima proposed by George Robert Gray in 1842 who suggested to use this name instead of Bucco.
