Barred Fruiteater (Pipreola arcuata) - 19Aug2024

This is the largest bird of the Fruiteater genus and much like some of the others, it is found in higher elevation forests in the Andes from Venezuela down through Peru.  We had ours in Colombia at a place where they trained other Fruiteaters and Pittas to come to feeding stations but this female was seen away from the station.  I am not sure if they have trained this species yet.  There are 11 Fruiteater species in this genus.
