The "Clown of the Andes", currently one of Angel's faithful followers, coming to his heavily loaded fruit feeders regularly at present. With recent and dramatic changes in taxonomy under the "Clements" list Toucan Barbet has been moved out of the "New World Barbet" family into the "Toucan Barbets", a family it shares with one other Central American species, the Prong-billed Barbet. Both species have this strange prong on their bills, so they have a markedly different bill structure to the other "New World Barbets".
