Brown-headed Barbet - Megalaima zeylanica, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.



On seeing fruits placed on the bird feed tray, this bird would alight on a high tree close by and would make its piercing call. After  a period of silence, it would fly down and eat the fruit. It is a very shy bird and would  take flight at the slightest distraction.
