The crimson-rumped toucanet (Aulacorhynchus haematopygus) is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The crimson-rumped toucanet was originally described in the genus Pteroglossus.
The crimson-rumped toucanet is 40 to 45 cm (16 to 18 in) long. The nominate subspecies weighs 200 to 232 g (7.1 to 8.2 oz) and A. h. sexnotatus 141 to 200 g (5.0 to 7.1 oz). Their bill is brownish red and black with a vertical white line at the base; the nominate has a larger proportion of black than A. h. sexnotatus. Males and females have the same plumage but females have a shorter bill than males. Adults of both subspecies are mostly green with a gold gloss to the nape and upper back, a red rump, chestnut tips on the central two or three pairs of tail feathers, and bare orange-brown skin around the dark eye. The nominate has blue above and below the eye and on the sides of the breast. A. h. sexnotatus has less blue in those areas. Immatures are duller overall, with an orangey rump... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Crimson-rumped Toucanet sighting in Los Nevados National Natural Park on a given day, based on 75 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 248th most-seen of the 424 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Crimson-rumped Toucanet in Los Nevados National Natural Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

Of the 3 parks where we can rate Crimson-rumped Toucanet sightings, Los Nevados National Natural Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Farallones de Cali National Natural Park (Colombia, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crimson-rumped Toucanet is recorded against all the birds logged in Los Nevados National Natural Park (75 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
