A male <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narina_Trogon" class="extiw" title="w:Narina Trogon">Narina Trogon</a> in breeding condition, perched in Pigeonwood in Oribi Gorge, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/KwaZulu-Natal" class="mw-redirect" title="KwaZulu-Natal">KwaZulu-Natal</a>, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/South_Africa" class="mw-redirect" title="South Africa">South Africa</a>. The nominate race has greener (i.e. less coppery) plumage than those northwards, with turquoise face lappets in the breeding season. This individual has partially green lappets, possibly a consequence of displaying. The bare green throat patch is also visible. Females have brown face and chest plumage, and smaller lappets.
