Blue-crowned Motmot

The Blue-crowned Motmot, with adult sexes alike, has green upperparts, warm buff to cinnamon underparts, and a long blue-green tail. Blue accents mark the flight feathers, a small black patch interrupts the breast, and the elongated central tail feathers have racket-shaped tips separated from the remaining feather vanes by exposed shafts. Its distinctive crown is black, bordered by a broad band of turquoise to deeper blue feathers.
