- Collared Trogon: Tail stripes bolder, occurs below 1300m.
- Blue-crowned Trogon: Bluish-green head, bolder tail stripes, only on eastern slopes below 1100m.
- Black-tailed Trogon: Black undertail, white eye, below 800m. on both slopes.
Distribution
Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela. See Taxonomy section for detailed distribution of subspecies.
Taxonomy
Nine subspecies are recognized:[1]
- T. p. sanctaemartae - Santa Marta Mountains, ne Colombia
- T. p. ptaritepui - s Venezuela
- T. p. personatus - w Venezuela, e Colombia, e Peru
- T. p. assimils - w [[Ecuador], ne Peru
- T. p. temperatus - Andes of c Colombia, Ecuador, Peru
- T. p. heliothrix - Montane forests, Peru
- T. p. submontanus - Foothills of Andes, s Peru and Bolivia
- T. p. duidae - s Venezuela, restricted to Mt. Duida
- T. p. roraimae - along the Venezuela-Guyana border
Habitat
Lower and middle moist montane forests between 1500m. and 3000m., both slopes of Andes
