Peter: Brian, can I see that paper for a sec?
(Brian gives Peter the paper. Peter peruses the paper.)
Peter: Huh... that's odd... I thought that would big news.
You seem determined to force me to buy a Tanzanian field guide, if such a thing is even available. Oh well, based on my birds of Kenya... Red-and-yellow Barbet, possibly a female of the nominate subspecies based on the amount of red on the head.
HI:
Try: The Birds of East Africa by Stevenson and Fanshawe. It covers Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. And I agree, the bird is a Red and Yellow Barbet.
Red-and-Yellow Barbet Trachyphonus erythrocephalus, for the reasons stated above.
At this rate I'll never put my Sinclair and Ryan "Birds of Africa south of the Sahara" back on my shelf!
Thanks for the field guide recommendations!
