The Coppersmith Barbet(Megalaima haemacephala) is common throughout Thailand. It gets its name from the noise it makes, which is said to sound like a coppersmith beating metal. The bird makes the sound without opening its beak. This one was surprisingly tolerant of me as I was only standing a few feet away albeit on the road and he was on the electricity lines!
