Metronomic call of Coppersmith Barbet: Bird Calls

A Coppersmith or Crimson-breasted Barbet sits on a barren dead tree and calls. Notice the bird does not open its beak but the throat can be seen moving. The bird has a distinct call which is timed and known as a metronome like call. The bird has a crimson forehead and neck and mixed with yellowish tints.
The bird is named Coppersmith as the call sounds like the rhythm of coppersmiths hitting the metal with a hammer.
