This individual has its crown feathers raised into a crest, perhaps because it was alarmed. This species may be
divided into three groups:
- D'Arnaud's (T.d. darnaudii/boehmi)
- Usambiro (T.d. usambiro)
- Black-capped (T.d. emini)
This is the Black-capped type which is endemic to northern Tanzania. The Usambiro Barbet, formerly considered
a separate species was lumped with D'Arnaud's Barbet in the 5th edition of Clements. However some authorities,
most notably Birdlife International still consider Usambiro Barbet to be a separate species.
