Psilopogon rubricapilla
Note how these birds pick trees with leaves which are a similar size and shape, thus they are frequently heard but less often seen.
Montane forest
The use of Megalaima rubricapilla has been discontinued as of 2013. This has become a Sri Lanka endemic following the elevation of the malabarica ssp to a separate full species known as Malabar Barbet.
