The Gold-whiskered Barbet (Psilopogon chrysopogon) is of Least Concern status and one of the largest barbets. It's primarily frugivorous feeding on seeds, berries and edible fruits.
This is one resident of the bukit that is more heard than seen.
When heard or spotted, it's pretty easy to identify because of its call and size. It has a thick large bill, green plumage and distinct bright yellow cheeks and bright red on the front of its head.
But on this occasion, it teased allowing only a distant shot before it flew up and away.
