The golden-collared toucanet (Selenidera reinwardtii) is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The golden-collared toucanet was originally described in the genus Pteroglossus.
Both subspecies have at times been treated as separate species, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) continues to do so. It calls them the "red-billed" and "green-billed" toucanets respectively. The two interbreed where their ranges overlap in Peru.
This article follows the IOC et al. two-subspecies model. The golden-collared toucanet is 33 to 35 cm (13 to 14 in) long. The nominate subspecies weighs 129 to 178 g (4.6 to 6.3 oz) and S. r. langsdorffii 134 to 200 g (4.7 to 7.1 oz). The two subspecies have essentially the same plumage. Adult males have a black head, nape, and shoulders. A... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-collared Toucanet sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 140 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 328th most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August–September and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-collared Toucanet in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–July and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-collared Toucanet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Golden-collared Toucanet sightings, Manu National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 10%), Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, about 10%) and Amacayacu National Natural Park (Colombia, about 10%).
Same family: Ramphastidae
The closest relatives of the Golden-collared Toucanet that you can see in Manu National Park (family Ramphastidae, Toucans) are White-throated Toucan (about 30%), Chestnut-eared Aracari (about 20%) and Channel-billed Toucan (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-collared Toucanet is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (140 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.
