Can anyone help with the ID (poorly taken...)

Hi,

Can anyone help with the ID of this bird ? Pardon the horrid quality of the pics, I didn't really have much time to react properly

It was very high up in the trees while I was on the main path. Taken using D70 + 70-300G + 2x TC handheld.

...I hope it is ok enough at least for ID verification

Thanks.

Looks like a Red-crowned barbet. Joeyao shot one some time back.

Hmm ... yeah, they look similar, especially at the head.

Thanks.

Good catch there! These buggers have really lovely colours.
