Identification
One of the few Trogonidae that will get into United States territory. The only major list maintaining the English Common Name as Eared Trogon is the one used in this Database (Sibley-Monroe). The other two major lists (Clement's and Howard & Moore) call it Eared Quetzal. I ignore if the reason for this is other than the external morphology of the bird. Genus Pharomachrus (i.e., the Quetzals) all have varying amounts of green dorsally and possibly black primaries, and red lower breasts and bellies along with varying amounts of white in the retrices. Euptilotis certainly superficially resembles more closely genus Pharomachrus than any of the members of genus Trogon. The change of the English Common Name from Trogon to Quetzal therefore appears to be a point well taken. That said, until such time as the Sibley-Monroe changes their English Common Name in conformation with the other lists, we will just have to keep in mind that there is this difference between the major lists in this regard.
