Bearded barbet

The bearded barbet (Lybius dubius) is an African barbet. Barbets and toucans are a group of near passerine birds with a worldwide tropical distribution. The barbets get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills.

The bearded barbet has black upperparts and red underparts, with a black breastband and whithe flanks. It feeds on fruit, mainly wild figs.
