Synonyms: Megalaima incognita

Wikipedia Abstract

The moustached barbet (Psilopogon incognitus) is an Asian barbet. Barbets are a group of near passerine birds with a world-wide tropical distribution. They get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills. The moustached barbet is a resident breeder in the hills of Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. It is a species of broadleaf evergreen forest from 600–700 m. It nests in a tree hole. The other subspecies are nominate P. i. incognitus in Myanmar and western Thailand, and P. i. eurous in southeast Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. \n*
