Description
The black-girdled barbet is approximately 18 cm (7.1 in) long and weighs 56 to 74 g (2.0 to 2.6 oz). The adult male's entire crown and nape are scarlet, the sides of the head black, and the chin and throat various shades of brown. Its back is black. Its underparts are white or off-white on the upper breast merging to pale greenish yellow on the belly. Its flanks are black, which extends nearly across the lower breast forming the "girdle". The adult female differs in that its crown and nape are black. The immature is similar to the adult but duller overall.
