Elegant Trogon

Trogon elegans

The elegant trogon (Trogon elegans), also known as the coppery-tailed trogon, is a near passerine bird in the trogon family. Like other trogons, elegant trogons have distinctive male and female plumages (sexual dimorphism), with soft feathers. Both sexes have a white undertail with fine horizontal black barring. The undertail also has large white tips spaced evenly ending in a black terminal band. Both have a yellow bill, orange-red undertail coverts and lower belly, and a white horizontal breast stripe.
