Orange-breasted Trogon

Orange-breasted trogons generally have an olive-yellow head with feathers that are bristled and upright, chestnut upperparts, orange breast that changes to bright yellow on upper and lower portions, white bars on wing sections, and a blue bill. Males have a dull olive-yellowish head with a blue ring; rufous upperparts and upper tail with paler rump ; broad white bars on wing sections; and yellow upper breast with some white along the mid-line. Females have additional gray-brown on head and upperparts; pale buffy-brown rump, gray breast; and yellow lower underparts. Juveniles are similar to females, with young males having warmer brown upperparts.

The Orange-breasted Trogon is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

A female Orange-breasted Trogon (Harpactes oreskios) was quietly perching on a branch when she was alerted by the call of a male nearby. Also nearby was a tailless male trogon. The female trogon suddenly flew to perch on a clear branch, responding with a soft call. And just as suddenly, the first male flew to her, mounted her (above) and in a split second or so, completed the cloacal kiss (below). The entire copulatory act took Adrian Lim a.k.a wmw998 by surprise. More
