Description
The spot-billed toucanet (Selenidera maculirostris) is a species of bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in the Atlantic Forest of south-eastern Brazil, far eastern Paraguay, and far north-eastern Argentina (Misiones). The spot-billed toucanet was originally described in the genus Pteroglossus. It is 35 cm (14 in) long and weighs 140-200 grams (4.9-7.1 oz.) Except for the bill-pattern, it resembles the Gould's toucanet, and the two have been considered conspecific in the past. Males can be differentiated from females by the color of the head, throat and chest. Males are black while females vary from brown to orange. The back of both sexes is olive green.

Feeding Habits
Spot-billed Toucanet primarily feed on fruits like Euterpe and Cecropia, insects, and possibly vertebrates. Spot-billed Toucanet forage alone or in groups, from the undergrowth to the canopy. Unique feeding adaptations include consuming cultivated fruits and mice in captivity. Spot-billed Toucanet sometimes drinks from tree crevices and flies to isolated fruit trees.
Habitat
The spot-billed Toucanet is typically found in subtropical moist primary forests, areas of selectively cut forests, and secondary forest patches. These birds are also associated with palm groves, specifically of the Euterpe edulis species, and gallery forests at the southeastern fringe of the cerrado biome. They inhabit remnants of forest patches within broader geographical regions that support such environments.
