Golden-throated Barbet (Psilopogon franklinii) [XC470170]

     by Bram Piot from Laifengshan National Forest Park, Tengchong, Yunnan, China (call)

Subspecies
Related to Black-browed Barbet (Psilopogon oorti), being quite similar in morphology and voice. They are possibly connected also to Green-eared Barbet (Psilopogon faiostrictus).

Proposed subspecies tonkinensis, from northern Vietnam, now considered inseparable from nominate; trangensis from peninsular Thailand (known from only five specimens) and minor from Peninsular Malaysia, both regarded as indistinguishable from ramsayi.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

  • franklinii (Blyth, 1842)   -  India east to northern Laos and south-western China.
  • ramsayi (Walden, 1875)   -  Central and eastern Myanmar and northern and western Thailand.
  • trangensis (Riley, 1934)   -  Peninsular Thailand.
  • minor (Kloss & Chasen, 1926)   -  Mountains of Malaysia.
  • auricularis (Robinson and Kloss, 1919)   -  Highlands of southern and central Cambodia, central Laos and Vietnam. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Necklaced Barbet (Psilopogon auricularis).
