The blue-crowned motmot (Momotus momota) is a
colourful near-passerine bird found in forests and woodlands of eastern
Mexico, Central America, northern and central South America, and
Trinidad and Tobago. As presently defined, it includes several taxa that
possibly should be recognized as valid species, including the Andean
motmot (or highland motmot), Momotus aequatorialis.
