The White-tailed Trogon (Trogon chionurus), also known as the Western White-tailed Trogon, is a near passerine bird in the trogon family. It is found in tropical humid forests of the Chocó, ranging from Panama, through western Colombia, to western Ecuador. It was formerly considered a subspecies of T. viridis, which is widespread in South America east of the Andes, but under the English name White-tailed Trogon (a name now reserved for T. chionurus, leaving T. viridis as the Green-backed Trogon).
