Double-toothed Barbet
Lybius bidentatus
In a garden where ripe guavas were the main attraction. Kapenguria, Kenya. July 2014.
These colorful, active birds are frequent in trees with ripening fruit such as guavas. They also eat insects. Not seen in the photo is a long, wide tail in black. The barbets get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills.
