Apaloderma narina (Narina's Trogon; Narina Trogon)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Narina trogon (Apaloderma narina) is a largely green and red, medium-sized (32-34 cm long), bird of the family Trogonidae. It is native to forests and woodlands of the Afrotropics. Though it is the most widespread and catholic in habitat choice of the three Apaloderma species, their numbers are locally depleted due to deforestation. Some populations are sedentary while others undertake regular movements. The species name commemorates Narina, mistress of French ornithologist François Levaillant, whose name he derived from a Khoikhoi word for "flower", as her given name was difficult to pronounce.
