Rufous Motmot

Rufous Motmot has similar plumage in both sexes, combining a rich rufous head and breast with olive-green upperparts and a greenish-blue lower belly. The back and wing coverts are largely unmarked, while blue-green flight feathers and a long tail with elongated central feathers complete the plumage. A broad black facial mask extends through the eyes, contrasting sharply with the surrounding rufous feathers.
