Coppersmith (Megalaima haemacephala) by alabang, on Flickr

The Coppersmith Barbet, Crimson-breasted Barbet or Coppersmith (Megalaima haemacephala), is a bird with crimson forehead and throat which is best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident found in the Indian Subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Like other barbets, they chisel out a hole inside a tree to build their nest. They are mainly fruit eating but will take sometimes insects, especially winged termites.

Nice image....
Thanks for including the extra information....
 
Very sharp. Great detail in the little "hairs" in his face! Thank you for the info!
 
Very nice shot Dolina,what an handsome bird,but there does seem to be a yellow cast to the image on my monitor.....Nige.
 
Thanks for noticing nigel. the yellow cast you see could be attributed to the sunlight being filtered by the tree's leaves and warm/yellowish afternoon soon. Thank you for the concern.

I reviewed my work on iPhones and iPads. So long as they jive I tend to go with that.
