Channel-billed Toucan

Ramphastos vitellinus

Channel-billed Toucan adults of both sexes are predominantly black, with the nominate subspecies showing a yellow throat and upper breast bordered by white. Smooth, unbarred black feathers cover the back, wings, and tail, and a red band separates the pale breast from the black belly. Bare blue skin surrounds the eye, contrasting with the feathered face and the large, mostly black bill with a yellow ridge.
