Golden-throated barbet

The golden-throated barbet ("Psilopogon franklinii") is an Asian barbet native to Southeast Asia, where it inhabits foremost forests between altitude. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution and stable population.
Taxonomy.
"Bucco franklinii" was the scientific name proposed by Edward Blyth in 1842 who described a vivid green barbet with a golden throat collected in Darjeeling.
It was placed in the genus "Megalaima" proposed by George Robert Gray in 1842 who suggested to use this name instead of "Bucco". In the 19th and 20th centuries, the following golden-throated barbet zoological specimens were described:
Molecular phylogenetic research of barbets revealed that the birds in the genus "Megalaima" form a clade, which also includes the fire-tufted barbet, the only species placed in the genus "Psilopogon" at the time. Barbets formerly placed in this genus were therefore reclassified under the genus "Psilopogon".
Two golden-throated barbet subspecies are recognised as of 2014:

Distribution and habitat.
The golden-throated barbet is resident in Nepal, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam and mainland China. Its presence in Bangladesh is uncertain. It inhabits tropical and subtropical moist forests at elevations of .

The male's territorial call is a very loud "pukwowk".
