Bar-tailed Trogon

The Bar-tailed Trogon adult male has metallic green upperparts and vivid red lower breast and belly, with a long-tailed, compact-bodied appearance. Fine black-and-white vermiculation covers the wing panels, while the underside of the graduated tail displays contrasting black-and-white bars. Small yellow patches of bare skin beside the eyes provide a distinctive facial marking against the dark, iridescent feathers.
