Brown-headed Barbet - Megalaima zeylanica, Home garden, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.
A very shy bird. It announces its presence by a loud call, from a branch high up hidden among the leaves. When the coast is clear it swoops down to eat what is on offer. If it detects human presence, it flies away in a jiffy.
