The rufous motmot (Baryphthengus martii) It is mainly cinnamon-rufous, with a black face mask and central breast spot, green wings and sides, a greenish-blue lower belly, and dark blue tail and flight feathers. The tail is very long and has a bare-shafted racket tip. The bill and legs are black. Young birds are paler and duller than adults, and lack the tail rackets and black breast spot. The call of the rufous motmot is a low owl-like hoop hoop huhuhuhuhuhu. These birds often sit still in a tree, and in their dense forest habitat can be difficult to see, despite their size and colour.
