Coppersmith Barbets (psilopogon haemacephalus) are small, plump birds common in Goa, instantly recognised by their repetitive "tuk-tuk-tuk" call resembling a hammer on metal. They have a bright green body, a red forehead and breast patch, and yellow eye-ring. Primarily frugivorous, they also eat insects and nest in tree hollows excavated with their strong beaks.
