  1. Hey Ferdy, I'm fairly sure most authorities accept the Momotus split by now (including eol). So if that's alright with you, I'll go ahead and re-identify the photos we have on here. Posted 4 years ago

The Amazonian motmot is a colourful near-passerine bird found in the Amazonian forests from eastern Venezuela to north-eastern Argentina. This species and the blue-capped motmot, whooping motmot, Trinidad motmot, Lesson's motmot, and Andean motmot were all formerly considered conspecific.
