Guyana Toucanet - Selenidera piperivora 20130708
Given I lost all my notes on the trip I\'m not sure what toucanet this was
 
If it matters, there could be a nomenclature change on the way:

Recognize Selenidera piperivora as the valid combination for the Guianan Toucanet

Pacheco & Whitney (2006) suggested that the name Ramphastos piperivorus Linnaeus, 1766, had priority over Pteroglossus Culik Wagler, 1827 [= Selenidera culik (Wagler, 1827)] for the Guianan Toucanet. This proposal was challenged by Walters (2007), who drew attention to the paper by Peters (1930) to which Pacheco & Whitney had made no reference.
