About the Cinnamon-rumped Trogon
The cinnamon-rumped trogon (Harpactes orrhophaeus) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae, known for their colorful plumage. The cinnamon-rumped trogon is a part of the family Trogonidae, which is monotypic within their order, Trogoniformes.
The cinnamon-rumped trogon is a close relative of the scarlet-rumped trogon, which also resides in the Malay peninsula and Indonesia. These two birds have similar appearances, but the cinnamon trogon is slightly larger, and the birds can be distinguished by the eponymous coloration of the plumage on their backs and tails.
This species contains two subspecies, the nominal H. o. orrhophaeus of Thailand and Malaysia, and H. o. vidua of Indonesia. Both subspecies exhibit distinct sexual dimorphism. The nominal subspecies (H. o. orrhophaeus) ranges from 45 – 61g and it is about 25 cm in length. Males of the subspecies have a black hood, distinct blue bill, and a narrow head. Their backs and tail plumage are a pale brown (cinnamon), and the plumage under the tail is white, bordered by black. Males have pink underbellies, which can be used to differentiate them from females, along with the female's dark brown hood... Wikipedia →
