The orange-bellied trogon (Trogon collaris aurantiiventris) is a subspecies of the
morph of the collared trogon, but was previously sometimes treated as a separate species.[2][3] It is found in the Talamancan montane forests
of Costa Rica and Panama.
Description
It measures 26 cm (10 in) long. The back, head and breast of the male are green, and a white line separates the breast from the orange underparts. The undertail is white with black barring, and the wings are black, vermiculated with white. The female has a brown back, head and breast, a relatively uniform undertail (not clearly barred), and underparts that are slightly paler than in the male. It is distinguished from the collared trogon by belly colour alone.[4]
Habitat
Its natural
montane forests
and heavily degraded former forest.
