Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird

Pogoniulus bilineatus

A sparrow-sized barbet whose monotonous "tonk-tonk-tonk" is one of the most constant sounds in the canopy. Seeing the bird, black with white face stripes and a yellow rump, takes patience.

Did you know?

A single bird can repeat its note more than a hundred times a minute for much of the day.
