Slaty-tailed Trogon? Honduras (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I think this a Saty-tailed Trogon, but it is so blue, all the photos I find they are green.
Taken in the last two weeks at the Omega Eco lodge, Atlántida, Honduras. (about 5 miles from La Ceiba)
Thanks!

From the plumage-pattern, it has to be slaty-tailed trogon - but, yes, almost all photos do show upperparts predominantly green rather than blue. But the colour is from iridescence, so liable to change with the light.
