The red-throated barbet male is mainly green with a red crown, throat, and spot below the throat. He also has a black spot above each eye and a yellow crown patch. There is also some blue near his eyes and on the lower part of his throat. The female lacks most of the male's facial coloration, but is otherwise similar. Juveniles resemble females.[2] Adults measure 22.7–24.2 cm (8.9–9.5 in) in length and weigh 60–95 g (2.1–3.4 oz).
