Also called Blue-tailed Trogon. Note white eye, and blue back of tail. From back. | ||||||||||||
Sometimes called the Rufous Trogon because the female has head, back and back of tail are rufous. Male has green back, unlike other trogons with yellow bellies. Female Choco Black-throated Trogons may have a yellow eye-ring. Otherwise it is light blue. An interesting bird apparently changing colors. | ||||||||||||

Two subspecies: birds further north are more orange, while southern birds are more red. Males have a white tail, while females are grey with a black and white tail. The orange race male is similar to the Green-backed Trogon also present but rare in the Atlantic rainforest, but yellow eye ring seems to be a sure way to identify, as is more orange colored breast. Female has a different tail pattern. | ||||||||||||||||||
