Introduction
The Versicolored Barbet is a common member of mixed-species flocks in middle-to high-elevation forests on the east side of the Andes in Bolivia and Peru. It is a sexually dimorphic species, which specializes in foraging on dried leaf clusters. Though a canopy forager, the Versicolored Barbet is brightly colored and not shy, making it easy to see throughout its range. Recent taxonomic treatments have varied somewhat, and its conservation status is uncertain.
