Muller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti)

The Chinese call it the Five-Color Bird. It's very common in the lower-altitude wooded areas in Taiwan. I've rarely actually seen them, but I commonly hear when hiking. They have a distinctive call.

I was walking around the Liuzhangli cemeteries when I found this one. A beautiful bird.



You can hear the bird's call here:
