Crested Barbet (Trachyphonus vaillantii)

Also sometimes referred to as the scrambled egg bird - yellow and white with a bit of red.
Typical of barbet's they feed on fruit and berries as well as various insects, but I recently learned that they may even rob other birds nests of their eggs and chicks.

A beautiful capture of a species we don't see all that often here in the Gallery.
