Looking once more at the tail, I still tend to believe Jeff, I was probably mislead by the ones on the links. However, the color of the eye is still confusing me...

I remember the guide said I had found the female... The other spotting is the front and backside of the male? Right? Such completely different colours.
The tail and the eye look complitely different for me for a being Caligatus. However, I am not as experienced as you, so I tend to believe you ;-)...
The tail is wrong for a Black-headed Trogon. I'm sure this is a female Violaceous Trogon (Trogon violaceus concinnus) or a female Northern Violaceus Trogon (Trogon caligasta) depending on which taxonomy you follow. See the pic at: http://ibc.lynxeds.com/photo/violaceous-...
Please, verify as well! Note the different ring around the eyes and the different colors on the underside of the tail (compared to Caligatus).
