Ramphastos toco Statius Müller, 1776

Records. Table 3.

The road-killed Toco Toucan individuals were easily recognized by their size (WC = ca 23 cm), shape, and color pattern ( Fig. 11). The bill was very large and reddish orange with a black spot at the tip of the maxilla. There was bright orange orbital skin with a narrow blue ring around the eyes. The plumage was mostly glossy black, but the throat and upper breast and upper tail coverts were white. The crissum and under-tail coverts were red.
