The whooping motmot (Momotus subrufescens) is a colorful near-passerine bird in the family Momotidae.

[2] The whooping motmot's back and wings are olive-green and the underparts dull brown.

Twenty-seven specimens of the nominate whooping motmot weighed 75 to 124 g (2.6 to 4.4 oz).

The nominate subspecies is found from eastern Panama to northern and western Colombia.

[4] Like most Coraciiformes, the whooping motmot nests in long tunnels in earth banks.
