Wildlife Spotting

Looking once more at the tail, I still tend to believe Jeff, I was probably mislead by the ones on the links. However, the color of the eye is still confusing me... http://neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/portal/species/gallery?p_p_spp=281816 http://www.flickr.com/photos/kikapoo/9497231845/ http://mvhunt.net/johnnature-mex-coz-yuc-8-5-09-coba.htm http://notdennis51.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/bh-trogon.jpg http://darnis.inbio.ac.cr/ubis/FMPro?-DB=UBIPUB.fp3&-lay=WebAll&-error=norec.html&-Format=detail.html&-Op=eq&id=2802&-Find http://mvhunt.net/johnnature-mex-coz-yuc-8-5-09-coba.htm http://www.artfullbirds.com/Guanacaste.html http://citizenscientistsleague.com/2013/07/12/this-week-at-hilton-pond-16-31-may-2013-late-may-2013-hummer-flowers-full-moons/ http://notdennis51.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/bh-trogon.jpg

The tail and the eye look complitely different for me for a being Caligatus. However, I am not as experienced as you, so I tend to believe you ;-)...

The tail is wrong for a Black-headed Trogon. I'm sure this is a female Violaceous Trogon (Trogon violaceus concinnus) or a female Northern Violaceus Trogon (Trogon caligasta) depending on which taxonomy you follow. See the pic at: http://ibc.lynxeds.com/photo/violaceous-trogon-trogon-violaceus/perched-female

Please, verify as well! Note the different ring around the eyes and the different colors on the underside of the tail (compared to Caligatus).
