The Gould's Toucanet (Selenidera gouldii) is a species of bird in the Ramphastidae family. It is found in the south-eastern part of the Amazon Rainforest, with a disjunct population in Serra de Baturité in the Brazilian satte of Ceará. Except for the bill-pattern, it resembles the Spot-billed Toucanet, and the two have been considered conspecific in the past. It weighs 131-209 grams (4.6-7.4 oz.)[1]
