"Crimson-rumped Toucanet," Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The crimson-rumped toucanet is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The crimson-rumped toucanet is 40 to 45 cm (16 to 18 in) long. Their bill is brownish red and black with a vertical white line at the base. Males and females have the same plumage but females have a shorter bill than males. Adults of both subspecies are mostly green with a gold gloss to the nape and upper back, a red rump, chestnut tips on the central two or three pairs of tail feathers, and bare orange-brown skin around the dark eye.
