The Red & Yellow Lifer! - a photo on Flickriver

            The red-and-yellow barbet (Trachyphonus erythrocephalus) is a species of African barbet found in eastern Africa. 
The species avoids both very open areas and areas of dense woodland, instead preferring broken terrain such as riverbeds and cliffs or termite mounds. It nests and roosts in tunnels, and forages on or close to the ground. Omnivorous, the species feeds on seeds, fruit, and invertebrates. 
Males have distinctive black (spotted white), red, and yellow plumage; females and juveniles are similar, but less brightly colored. 

This beautiful Barbet is a lifer and was captured during a photography safari on a game drive in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania
