Pavonine Quetzal [incl. heliactin, hargitti]
Pharomachrus pavoninus [incl. heliactin, hargitti] (= Pharomachrus pavoninus) (Spix, JB 1824)
The pavonine quetzal is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae, the trogons. It is also known at the peacock trogon, red-billed train bearer, or viuda pico rojo in Spanish. The pavonine quetzal lives in the Neotropics, more specifically in the northern region of the Amazon basin, spreading from Colombia to Bolivia. The most notable characteristics helpful in identifying this bird are its plumage, red beak, and its distribution - it is the only quetzal occupying the lowland rainforest east of the Andes.
