White-necked puffbird
The white-necked puffbird is a species of puffbird in the family Bucconidae.
It is found in forest and woodland from southern Mexico through Central America to the Chocó, northern Colombia, northern Venezuela, and the western and southern Amazon Basin.
This bird measures long. It is mainly black and white, with a prominent black band separating the white chest and belly. This is contrasted on the back with a white neck band separating the black back from the crown. A black eyestripe runs from the beak to the crown, passing through a dark red eye. The bill is massive and black.
It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Guianan puffbird. The two differ markedly in bill-size, plumage, and voice. Consequently, the two were separated by SACC in 2004.
