Reminds me of the Grand Ecclectus where the male and female have different feather colors. The male having green feathers and the female red. In this case one has red feathers on the chest and the other has yellow. Nice capture of this pair of Trogons. Well done Ariel. Mabuhay.

Nice colorful birds again from you Ariel. I also worked in Panama (Costa Rica neighbor) 12 years ago but I am not into photography back then. It could have been really fun with all these colorful birds around.
