Black-throated Trogon (Trogon rufus) [XC620891]

Black-throated Trogon (Trogon rufus) [XC437093]
     by Will Sweet from Rio Ca\u00f1a, Ng\u00e4be-Bugl\u00e9, Panama (call)

Subspecies
Possibly closest to Mountain Trogon (Trogon mexicanus), Elegant Trogon (Trogon elegans), Collared Trogon (Trogon collaris), Masked Trogon (Trogon personatus) and Blue-crowned Trogon (Trogon curucui). DNA studies suggest that Elegant Trogon (Trogon elegans), Collared Trogon (Trogon collaris) and Masked Trogon (Trogon personatus) may be nearest relatives.

The following 6 subspecies are recognised:

  • tenellus Cabanis, 1862   -  Eastern Honduras, Nicaragua, both slopes of Costa Rica (except north-west) and Panama, and extreme north-western Colombia.
  • cupreicauda (Chapman, 1914)   -  Western Colombia and western Ecuador.
  • rufus Gmelin, 1788   -  Eastern Venezuela and the Guianas to northern Brazil (R Negro region and Amapá).
  • sulphureus von Spix, 1824   -  South-eastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, north-eastern Peru and western Brazil.
  • amazonicus Todd, 1943   -  North-central Brazil (lower Amazon Valley).
  • chrysochloros Pelzeln, 1856   -  Paraguay, north-eastern Argentina and eastern and south-eastern Brazil (Bahia to Rio Grande do Sul, and including Mato Grosso); presumably this subspecies in north-eastern Brazil (Alagoas).
