About the Cinnamon-rumped Trogon

The cinnamon-rumped trogon (Harpactes orrhophaeus) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae, known for their colorful plumage. The cinnamon-rumped trogon is a part of the family Trogonidae, which is monotypic within their order, Trogoniformes. The cinnamon-rumped trogon is a close relative of the scarlet-rumped trogon, which also resides in the Malay peninsula and Indonesia. These two birds have similar appearances, but the cinnamon trogon is slightly larger, and the birds can be distinguished by the eponymous coloration of the plumage on their backs and tails. This species contains two subspecies, the nominal H. o. orrhophaeus of Thailand and Malaysia, and H. o. vidua of Indonesia. Both subspecies exhibit distinct sexual dimorphism.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 34 recordings for this species: 24 CC BY-NC-ND · 9 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
