	The Resplendent Quetzal
		At some point in time the species of Pharomachrus Mocinno were separated into a Northern and Southern species by the stretch of lowlands that covers parts of southern Guatemala, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica.
		The southern species is Pharomachrus Mocinno Costaricensus and differs from the northern species by its shorter, narrower tail plumes on the male.
		Pharomachrus Mocinno Mocinno, predominantly found in Guatemala, has not fared as well as its southern cousin.
