Field Notes

Description:

It looks like it could be this type of motmot but what puzzles me is that the bird did not have the pendulum shaped feathers in its tail. Is either young, a female or it was molting?

Habitat:

Tropical rainforest Central america

Notes:

Pics are not so good (long distance, not much light and not the best camera for it) but is enough to show what I have seen, which it was a very cool spotting.
