Whooping Motmot (Momotus subrufescens) - 02Aug2019

Before 2009 this Motmot was one of the now 6 split species from the Blue-crowned Motmot complex.  Luckily there are 6 now in this genus (Momotus) of which I think I have seen 4 of.  The Whooping Motmot lives at lower elevations in northern South America.  This photo was from the famous El Dorado Ecologic station in the Santa Marta area of Colombia.
