Harpactes diardii
The Diard's trogon is a medium-sized bird, measuring approximately 34 cm (13.4 in) in length and weighting about 100 g. Like other trogons, it has hunched shoulders, a long tail and vibrant plumage with a striking mix of contrasting colors. Males and females are similar in size but showcase differences in their plumage. Both males and females have a blue bill with a black tip. The adult male has a black head and upper breast paired with a purplish-blue eye ring. Its mid-crown to hind-crown has a maroon wash, while the hind collar and breastline are pink. Voice: The Diard's trogon vocalizations are characterized by a sequence of 10 to 12 "kau" notes, with the second note higher than the first, while the subsequent notes generally decrease in pitch. The final few notes usually descend further, resulting in a characteristic and rhythmic sequence.
