Description
The nominate subspecies has a broadly black-tipped maroon-red bill, while S. r. langsdorffii has a broadly black-tipped bluish-grey bill. The plumage of both subspecies is very similar to that of the related spot-billed, tawny-tufted and Gould's toucanets. It is 30.5–35 cm (12–14 in) long and weighs from 129 to 200 grams (4.5-7.1 oz.)

It has an affinity for drier upper forest areas and ridges, and is known to inhabit forest edges. The species also occasionally resides in floodplain forests and várzea regions, typically avoiding secondary forests.
