The golden-collared toucanet (Selenidera reinwardtii) is a species of bird in the Ramphastidae family. It is found in the western Amazon rainforest in South America.
Taxonomy and systematics
Subspecies
Two subspecies are recognized, one of which, the Langsdorff's or green-billed toucanet (S. reinwardtii langsdorffii) is considered as a separate species by some authorities.[2][3]
- S. r. reinwardtii - (Wagler, 1827): Found in southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador and north-eastern Peru
- Green-billed toucanet (S. r. langsdorffii) - (Wagler, 1827): Found in eastern Peru, western Brazil and northern Bolivia
Description
The nominate subspecies has a broadly black-tipped maroon-red bill, while S. r. langsdorffii has a broadly black-tipped bluish-grey bill. The plumage of both subspecies is very similar to that of the related spot-billed, tawny-tufted and Gould's toucanets. It is 30.5–35 cm (12–14 in) long and weighs from 129 to 200 grams (4.5-7.1 oz.)[4]
