Eubucco
''Eubucco'' is a genus of colourful birds in the family Capitonidae. They are found in humid forest in South America, South and Central America, and the species have almost entirely Allopatric, allo- or parapatric distributions. Slightly smaller than the members of the genus ''Capito'', members of the genus ''Eubucco'' are all sexually dimorphic, have stubby yellowish bills, green backs, yellow to the neck or underparts, and, at least in the males, red to the head. Typically seen singly or in pairs, they are primarily frugivorous, but also take arthropods. Species References * Schulenberg, T., D. Stotz, D. Lane, J. O'Neill, & T. Parker III. (2007).

Versicolored Barbet
The versicolored barbet (''Eubucco versicolor'') is a very colorful species of bird in the family Capitonidae, the New World barbets. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The versicolored barbet was described by Statius Müller in 1776 as ''Bucco versicolor'', based on a specimen collected in Maynas Province, Peru. Its taxonomy is in flux. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (AOS), the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), and the Clements taxonomy treat it as one species with three subspecies. The ''HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World'' treats the three as individual species.HBW and BirdLife International (2020) Handbook of the Birds of the World and BirdLife International digital checklist of the birds of the world.

Capitonidae
The New World barbets are a family, Capitonidae, of 15 birds in the order Piciformes, which inhabit humid forests in Central and South America. They are closely related to the toucans. The New World barbets are plump birds, with short necks and large heads. They get their name from the bristles that fringe their heavy bills. Most species are brightly coloured and live in tropical forest. These barbets are mostly arboreal birds, which nest in tree holes dug by breeding pairs, laying two to four eggs. They eat fruit and insects. These birds do not bird migration, migrate. Taxonomy Fossil New World barbets have been found dating from the Miocene in Florida. The closest relatives of the barbets are the toucans, and these two families are also closely related to the honeyguides and woodpeckers (with which they form the order (biology), order Piciformes). Formerly, the barbets have been treated as one family Family (from ) is a Social group, group of people related either by ...
