Andean Motmot (Momotus aequatorialis) - 10&22Aug2024

Andean Motmot is yet another of the species split from the Blue-crowned Motmot back in 2009.  As you can guess, all 6 of them look very similar.  This one is a high elevation montane forest species.  We had quite a few in different places during my second trip to Colombia.  The first photo is from Ukuku Lodge near Ibague and I think the next is from the airport hotel grounds near Medellin.
