Black-headed Trogon (male)

Trogon melanocephalus

Description:

Photo take in my backyard cloudy day no sun i find them by the intense noises they made, is my first Trogons, It easily is distinguished by its solid black upperparts, black tail with broad white tips to the outer rectrices, and dark eye with a pale blue eye ring. Males are glossy above, though the sheen is frequently difficult to see on birds foraging in the upper canopy.

Habitat:

Open habitats, including plantations, secondary forest, gallery forest, and seasonally deciduous forests.
