White-tailed Trogon
Identifying trogons requires looking at the colors of the belly and breast along with the undertail. The males are often very different from the females. This male White-tailed Trogon appeared to have an orange rather than a yellow belly. A similar species called the Baird's Trogon has a white undertail and a red belly, but they are not found around the Pipeline Road where I saw this bird.
