People always say that male birds are prettier than the females. In the case of the spot-billed toucanet, I think the female is prettier.

Selenidera maculirostris (M. H. K. Lichtenstein, 1823) - Spot-billed Toucanet. Found at Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu (REGUA), in Cachoeiras de Macacu municipality in state of Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil.
If I remember correctly one of these (probably this one) dive-bombed me as I was trying to photograph insects along the trail. Noise is kind of startling if you don't see it coming.
Found on Green Trail (Trilha Verde).
Single exposure, significantly cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.

Map pin is a guess, I was so tired after non-stop driving and birding, I was not certain where we were on the map.
