Scarlet-hooded Barbet

The Scarlet-hooded Barbet is a species of bird in the Capitonidae family. It is endemic to humid lowland forest in the south-western Amazon Basin in south-eastern Peru, north-western Bolivia and south-western Brazil; the majority of its range is in Peru-. It is generally uncommon. It is the only member of the genus Eubucco where both sexes have red to the head, the female being superficially similar to the male Lemon-throated Barbet.

The Scarlet-hooded Barbet is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

habitat types and Scarlet-hooded Barbet (Eubucco tucinkae) found only in secondary forest mainly in Cecropia dominated woodland. Although activity levels were very low in the upper tropical zone nearly 20% of the species recorded proved to be new records for the lodge and it is to be predicted that further new records will be noted with more extensive coverage and at different times of year. The presence of the threatened Black Tinamou (Tinamus osgoodi) makes this zone of even greater conservation significance. More
