Trogon viridis
This relatively large trogon is 28 to 30 centimetres (11 to 12 in) long.[3] As most trogons, it is strongly sexually dimorphic. In the male the head and upper breast are dark blue (appears blackish in poor light), and the back is green. The lower underparts are orange yellow. The wings are black, vermiculated with white. The undertail is black and white: Each feather has a broad black base and a broad white tip and outer edge.[4] The complete eye-ring is pale bluish. The female Green-backed Trogon resembles the male, but has a grey back, head and breast, and distinct black-and-white barring mainly to the outer webs of each tail feather. Wikipedia
