Barred Fruiteater

The barred fruiteater is among the largest of its genus at 22 to 23 cm (8.7 to 9.1 in) long and weighing 112 to 128 g (4.0 to 4.5 oz). The sexes have different plumage, though uniquely among the fruiteaters both have barred breasts. Adult males of the nominate subspecies have an entirely black head, neck, and upper breast. Their upperparts are olive-green and the wings and tail mostly that color. The wing's greater coverts and tertials have large yellow spots. The tail has a black bar near the end and whitish tips on the feathers. Their underparts are yellow with crisp black bars. Voice: The barred fruiteater's song has been described as "a very high, thin, rising whistle, then a descending whistle, often several rising or descending whistles in loose series". Its calls are described as "shorter descending, or slightly rising then descending, whistles" and a "series of very high ti or tseee notes".
