The five-colored barbet (Capito quinticolor) is a species of bird in the family Capitonidae. It is endemic to humid forest in the Chocó of south-western Colombia and far north-western Ecuador. It is threatened by habitat loss. It gets its name from its feathers, which are a combination of black, white, yellow, and red, plus the lower belly with yellow-orange.[2]
