Notharchus hyperrhynchus

  • 25 × 21 mm (estimated)
  • Its colour follows its family (the eggs of all its relatives are alike); we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet. Speculative: we haven't found documented measurements of this egg yet, so we estimated its size from related birds.
  • Clutch: 2 eggs
Breeds in Mexico, Central America (6 countries) and South America (6 countries)

Central America: Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama
South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela

Plain white, as in all puffbird eggs (we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet).
