I don't think your bird was a trogon. Sorry, I have no idea what it was. There seems to be only 3 trogons in Africa, but none really match your description. I don’t think your bird was a trogon.

I m an amateur bird watcher from nigeria.

i live in the southeastern part of the country(rainforest belt).

one morning on my way to work at around onitsha, few miles to the bank of the river niger, i saw a strange but extremely beautiful multicoloured but predominantly grey in the upper parts.Its the size of an african grounscraper thrush or a laughing dove ,but thicker athe breast.

what enthralled me most was that it had a fine crown-like crest on its head.

i know turacos well and this was not a turaco.
the bird didnt give me the least chance as it darted in to a shrub-bush.
this was in a thickly-populated village in anambra state in nigeria.
please confirm if its a trogon.
thanks in anticipation.
