Rufous Motmot
Baryphthengus martii

It doesn't get much more exotic than the sound of the rainforest dwelling Rufous Motmot as your ringtone! Native to Central and South America, this large bird nests in a very long tunnel dug into the side of a riverbank. Motmots are beautiful and quiet birds, but are not easy to spot despite their large size. They feed on crabs, insects and lizards, waiting quietly on a branch until their prey comes into view.
