Banded Barbet
Lybius undatus (Rüppell, 1837)
Lybiidae — African Barbets
Banded Barbet, Lybius undatus, is a bird of montane Eritrea and central Ethiopia in the family Lybiidae. It was described by Rüppell in 1837. In Ethiopia it is recorded across a broad range of elevations, from 300 to 2400 metres, and its presence is uneven, being scarce in some north-western and eastern areas but locally common in other places. It is usually seen alone or in pairs, and it stays in trees close to water. It is a little-known species and has been placed in Lybius for now.
