Gould’s Toucanet

Gould's toucanet (Selenidera gouldii) is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in Bolivia and Brazil. == Taxonomy and systematics == The tawny-tufted toucanet was originally described in the genus Pteroglossus. It has at times been considered conspecific with the spot-billed toucanet (S. maculirostris) and the two are sister species. It is monotypic. The species' common name commemorates the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould (1804–1881). == Description == Gould's toucanet is about 33 cm (13 in) long. Males weigh 138 to 209 g (4.9 to 7.4 oz) and females 131 to 183 g (4.6 to 6.5 oz). Males and females have the same bill pattern but the female's bill is shorter. The bill's maxilla has a narrow white base, a black middle, an orange-yellow outer third, and ivory "teeth" along the tomium. The mandible's inner half is ivory with a thin black area between it and the outer end's orange-yellow. Both sexes have bare green-yellow to blue skin around the eye and a golden-yellow tuft of feathers behind it; both are paler in the female. Adult males have a black head, nape, chin, throat, and belly. Their upperparts are green with a yellow band…
