Hi Ferdy! Sorry for the slow reply, I'm in Puerto Nariño and the Internet is very spotty.
Red belly, no eye ring, barred undertail, equals Collared Trogon. The namesake collar can be very faint and is not always visible, especially a side view like this.

The Collared trogon

The collared trogon is a near passerine bird in the trogon family, Trogonidae. It is found in the warmer parts of the Neotropics and includes numerous subspecies, including "T. c. exoptatus" from northern Colombia, northern Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. The subspecies "T. c. aurantiiventris" is recognized by many authorities as a separate species: the orange-bellied trogon.
