Blue-Eared Barbet

15th July 2012, , Panti, Johor

Local Name: Takur Akar Scientific Name: Megalaima australis cyanotis Measuring approximately 17-18cm they are one of the smaller barbets found here in Peninsular Malaysia. This particular bird is a female with dull forehead and crown. Their facial markings and head details never cease to amaze me.
