The Yellow-fronted Tinkerbird is a tiny barbet marked by a yellow forehead. It eats mistletoe and other fruits in broadleaved woodland, and both sexes excavate a nest hole in a dead branch.
Its upperparts are strongly speckled and streaked, its underparts are lemon-colored, and it has a distinct yellow-gold forehead patch.
It feeds mainly on fruit, especially mistletoe, and both sexes excavate a nest in a dead branch; both parents care for the chicks.
