Back view of a White-tailed Trogon. Lacking a view of its inner tail, we have to guess it's a female - grey back, head and breast. How to tell a White-tailed from a Violaceous Trogon? First, the White-tailed Trogon is larger. One can also judge by their eye-ring - the male Violaceous has a complete yellow ring, and the female has an incomplete white ring. White-tailed (male or female) has a pale bluish complete ring. Of course, one can tell them apart by the undertail if it's visible.
