White cheeked barbet Megalaima viridis. Have been trying in vain on many occasions to get a good shot of this bird. Got this one in my backyard today. Though they are very common here, they don't always show up in the open. Guess I'll have to keep trying harder... This is also one of my most favourite birds.
The call of this species is very similar to the Brown-headed Barbet, but can be identified by its pitch- The WCB's call is distinctly higher pitched.

Cropped to a vertical.
I did not make any changes to the saturation/vibrance, but it still looks a bit high to me. Should I pull it back?
Thanks, C&C awaited.
