29cm Lineated Barbet of imperial jade coloured body-plumage, straw-coloured head and streaked dark-brown upper breast, blend exceedingly well into their living environment. They are difficult to see when remained quietly perched in tree canopies. Such natural camouflage makes Lineated Barbets one of the best and challenging birds to observe and to photograph in the wild. The heavy bodied and big headed Lineated Barbet is seen to be an intelligent vigilante with precision tactical decoy. 1212. More

Actually the distribution of the Lineated Barbet within India is rather restricted and localised farther north than Delhi (near the foothills of the Himalayas). This is a Brown-headed Barbet - brown throat (whitish and streaky in Lineated), orange legs and feet (yellowish in Lineated), and here we can see that the bare skin around the eye is contigious with the bill base (not so in the Lineated where there is a small feathered zone between the bare eye patch and the bill base).
