Description
Apaloderma narina subsp. narina (Stephens, 1815), in Trema orientalis
Afrikaans: 'n Bosloerie-mannetjie in 'n Hophoutboom, Oribikloof, KwaZulu-Natal
English: A male Narina Trogon in breeding condition, perched in Pigeonwood in Oribi Gorge, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The nominate race has greener (i.e. less coppery) plumage than those northwards, with turquoise face lappets in the breeding season. This individual has partially green lappets, possibly a consequence of displaying. The bare green throat patch is also visible. Females have brown face and chest plumage, and smaller lappets.

The Narina trogon (Apaloderma narina) is a largely green and red, medium-sized (32–34 cm long), bird of the family Trogonidae. It is native to forests and woodlands of the Afrotropics. The species name commemorates Narina, mistress of French ornithologist François Levaillant, whose name he derived from a Khoikhoi word for "flower", as her given name was difficult to pronounce.
