Chestnut-eared Aracari

Medium-sized toucan of tropical rainforest. Distinguished from other aracaris by blue patch of skin around a light eye and a single red band on its yellow belly. Prefers forest edges and young forest; often found around gardens and human dwellings. Frequently encountered in pairs or small groups, especially in fruiting trees.

 

This one was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
