How to identify Collared trogon
The collared trogon is a strikingly coloured bird with a green head and back, a bright red breast and belly, and a white breast band. The wings are finely barred in black and white, while the long tail shows dark upperparts and white-speckled undersides. A typical feature is the delicate yellow bill.
With a body length of about 27 to 30 cm, the collared trogon appears compact and rounded, with an upright posture. The male is more brightly coloured, while the female has a more brownish breast band and duller tones. It can be confused with the Ecuador trogon, but the latter lacks the white breast band.
