Andean Motmot
Momotus aequatorialis
The Andean Motmot has predominantly green plumage accented with blue and a broad black facial mask; adult males and females are similar in appearance. Its green back and breast contrast with blue flight feathers, a small black breast marking, and an elongated blue-green tail with two dark-tipped, racket-shaped central feathers. A bright blue band bordering the black crown provides a defining head marking.
