Spotted
The Golden-collared Toucanet is a vibrant species, with males featuring a distinctive golden-yellow collar contrasting with a black head and green body. Females have a chestnut collar. It inhabits humid tropical forests, where it forages for fruits and insects. Its calls are often soft but distinctive.
Where to spot
Native to humid tropical lowland forests of the western Amazon Basin, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil.
How to spot
Look for its bright green body and distinctive collar (golden for males, chestnut for females) as it forages quietly in the mid-canopy. Listen for its soft, often repetitive hooting calls. It often moves in pairs or small family groups.
When to spot
Present year-round. Most active during the early morning hours and late afternoon. Increased vocalization during the breeding season.

The striking difference in collar color between males (golden) and females (chestnut) makes this species a prime example of sexual dimorphism among toucanets.
