The elegant trogon (Trogon elegans), previously known as the coppery-tailed trogon, is a near passerine bird in the trogon family native to Central America.[3] The etymology of the word trogon comes from the Greek word trōgein, meaning "to gnaw",[4] which describes how this species prepares its nests in trees.
