The Blue-tailed Trogon is distributed along the Pacific side of the Andes from Colombia to Ecuador. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. It is found in humid forest at mid-levels and up to about 1,800 metres.

This is a photo of a female with its black and yellow bill, red belly and grey head and breast and with a white iris. The underside of the tail is black. Unlike the Ecuadorian Trogon T. mesurus there is no white line between the breast and belly. The male is blue-green above with a greenish-blue uppertail and rump.
