The male has a red belly and a black face with a yellow eye ring, while the female has a gray belly and a black face with a white eye ring. This species is known for its distinctive call, a series of soft, low-pitched hoots. White-tailed Trogons feed on insects and small fruits, and they often perch quietly in the forest understory.
