Lattice-Tailed Trogon

Yes.. that would be great if we can see the tail.. :) No problem Bayucca.. Glad to involve :)

Lattice-Tailed Trogon - Trogon clathratus : 30 cm; 130 g. Male has yellow bill and whitish iris; face and throat blackish; crown, nape, upperparts and breast green, belly to undertail-coverts rosy-red; vermiculated wingpanel; uppertail bluish-green, undertail looks slaty with well-spaced thin white bars. Differs from very similar T. massena in bill and eye colours, rosier belly, bluer tail, undertail pattern. Female has dark upper mandible, slaty crown and upperparts, olive-slate breast; differs from T. massena in breast colour, rosier belly, yellow lower mandible, undertail barring is nearly restricted to outer webs, distinct white tips to feathers of undertail. Immature like respective adult, but rectrices more pointed and more coarsely barred, breast of male largely brown.

Thanks, Mona! Great job! For my modest understanding, this part would make me happy with what I can see from the tail: "undertail with whitish tips and notching on outer webs". So for me it is a juvenile male Trogon massena.

a bit info.... I think this is fit.. :) but I will try to look other Trogon too... 33–35 cm; 141 g. Male nominate race with stout orange-red bill, orange-red orbital ring; face and throat blackish; crown, nape, upperparts and breast green, belly to undertail-coverts red; vermiculated wingpanel; rump and uppertail-coverts green to turquoise, uppertail greenish with golden gloss, undertail slaty. Distinguished from T. mexicanus by much larger size, larger and ­orange-red bill, whitish on primaries, lack of white breastband, and colour and pattern of tail. Female slaty on upper mandible, head, upperparts, wings and tail, fading to paler slaty from throat to mid-belly, red lower belly to undertail-coverts. Immature male like adult male above, like female below, undertail with whitish tips and notching on outer webs; immature female like adult female, but tail as immature male. Race australis male with central tail feathers bluish, instead of green; hoffmanni similar to australis but averages smaller, and has tail more golden.

Ignacio do you have any other picture of this one, specially one where we can see the ventral part of the tail a little bit better?

Slaty-tailed Trogon (Trogon massena) ?? ssp. Australis ?? Beautiful bird !!

The colors of and around the eyes looks for me more like Massena. What do you think about the eyes, Stephen?? http://www.planetofbirds.com/trogoniformes-trogonidae-lattice-tailed-trogon-trogon-clathratus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trogon_clathratus_-Costa_Rica-8.jpg

Changed my mind from Trogon massena to Trogon clathratus, but only a little bit of lattice is visible in the tail

Thanks, Stephen for confirmation!

Definitely a Trogon, but colors are indeed a little bit strange... What about Slaty-tailed Trogon, Trogon massena, male, maybe a juvenile male or male molting??? Not sure! I cannot see the markings of the tail very well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaty-tailed_Trogon http://ibc.lynxeds.com/photo/slaty-tailed-trogon-trogon-massena/sometimes-male-agrees-show-his-best-profile http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trogon_massena_-Belize_-male-8_(1).jpg

looks like a species of a Trogon. But something is off on the red and blue in the image. Looks like this bird was color corrected
