– very rare and shy bird

– look confuse with Scarlet-rumped sometime but with rumped color, call different, female, behavior and belly color different

update 202402

– a hot afternoon, we spent our hot day mostly with few different Woodpeckers .. before we want to go for some relax waiting birding.. I saw a “red dot” near ground ..I first thought is Garnet Pitta .. but after use my bino .. it is a Trogon and first impression it is Cinnamon-rumped and shout “come come come”… most of us still want to better confirmation and wait .. after few locate of it flight finally it show us the back view .. follow by call …. and everyone with big smile …

– 非常炎热的下午。还好,蛮多啄木鸟。。但我们要去凉快等鸟前,尽然被我看到“红点”在蛮低的位置。本身还以为看到榴红八色鸫,当我用上双筒看是。。我大叫。橙腰!。。。可是是鸟的前面,我们还是希望有机会100%是橙腰(怕是红腰。。很暗)当我们追他大概5-10分钟,他停了2次终于让我们看北部+叫了!大家都高兴。。。
