Golden-headed quetzal, Rio Ñambi, Colombia

This the female, the male has a golden-toned head after which the species is named, whilst females have duller brown to grey heads as seen here. Based on location, this is likely the auriceps subspecies.

It is described as a very calm bird that sits motionless for long periods and only rarely calls. From our limited experience on this trip we can confirm that both quetzals we found are like statues, they don't move or flee easily.
