Red-and-yellow Barbet (Trachyphonus erythrocephalus) [XC396431]

Red-and-yellow Barbet (Trachyphonus erythrocephalus) [XC526073]
     by isaac kilusu from Osoit,oloitoktok, Kenya (duet)

Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Yellow-breasted Barbet (Trachyphonus margaritatus), with which sometimes thought conspecific. Both rather closely related to D'Arnaud's Barbet (Trachyphonus darnaudii), less so to Crested Barbet (Trachyphonus vaillantii).

Proposed subspecies gallarum (south-central Ethiopia) and jacksoni (southern Ethiopia to north-central Kenya) probably represent intergrades of subspecies shelleyi and versicolor.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • shelleyi Hartlaub, 1886   -  South-eastern Ethiopia to north-western and southern Somalia.
  • versicolor Hartlaub, 1882   -  North-eastern Uganda and south-eastern Sudan to southern and central-eastern Ethiopia and northern Kenya.
  • erythrocephalus Cabanis, 1878   -  Central Kenya to north-eastern and north-central Tanzania.
