Stripe-billed Aracari (Pteroglossus sanguineus)
About the Stripe-billed Aracari
The pale-mandibled aracari or pale-billed araçari (Pteroglossus erythropygius) is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in southern Panama, western Colombia, Ecuador and northwestern Peru. The pale-mandibled aracari was formally described in 1843 as Pteroglossus erythropygius by the English ornithologist John Gould based on a specimen in the collection of the British naval officer Edward Belcher. The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek ερυθρος/eruthros meaning "red" with -πυγιος/-pugios meaning "-rumped". Gould did not specify a type locality but this has been designated as Ecuador. Two subspecies are recognised: P. e. sanguineus Gould, J, 1854 – eastern Panama and northern Colombia southward to northwestern Ecuador (northern Esmeraldas and adjacent Imbabura)
