It is an Asian [[barbet]]. It lives in southern India. It looks like the brown-headed barbet (or large green barbet) (''[[Psilopogon zeylanica]]'') but it has a different supercilium and a broad white cheek stripe below the eye. It lives in forests in the [[Western Ghats]] and other hills near the Western Ghats. These birds eat mainly fruits, but also sometimes eat insects. These birds rarely visit the ground, obtaining their water from their fruit diet.They live in hollows of trees. Their call is a ''kutroo'' - ''kutroo''. They also live in [[Bangalore]]. == Behaviour and description == They are identified by their white cheek, also giving them their name. They are hard to spot, as they are green and look very much like a leaf. They also sit still and upright. They sometimes are found in small groups in fruiting trees, along with other fruit-eating birds ([[frugivore]]s) like green [[pigeons]], [[bulbul]]s and [[myna]]s. They live in broadleaved forests, [[garden]]s and [[Grove (nature)|groves]]. == References == {{reflist}} *Birds of the Indian Subcontinent, Oxford University Press, Helm Field Guides-2010 {{Taxonbar|from=Q27074836}} [[Category:Piciformes]] [[Category:Birds of India]] [[Category:IUCN Red List least concern species]] {{biology-stub}}
