Golden-collared Toucanet
Selenidera reinwardtii (Wagler, 1827)
Ramphastidae — Toucans
Golden-collared Toucanet, Selenidera reinwardtii, is a toucan of South America’s western Amazonia, where it lives in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. It is placed in the family Ramphastidae and was described by Wagler in 1827. The bird is marked by a golden-yellow tuft behind the eye, and the sexes differ in the bill pattern. It uses forest interior and edges, floodplain forest and sometimes várzea, with a preference for drier uplands. It is most often found up to about 1,000 m, though it can occur higher in parts of its range.
