Cinchona while we were having lunch. Clearly a bonded pair. In the last photo can just see the black stripe down the back that distinguishes the male. A little research this morning tells me that, while the Prong-billed Barbets forms strong monogamous bods during breeding season, they do not necessarily keep the same mate in following years. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications.
