Hi David,
I think that this picture refers to a female Diard's Trogon, instead of a cinnamon-rumped trogon...firstly, this bird has a violet skin around the eye, a feature distinguisable as DT. Also, the bird's proportion is of, the diard's being a bigger bird will appear longer too, whereas CRT is small and more compact. I came across this pic first in animal diversity web and the locality stated is fraser's, where DT has been recorded, afterall it ius known to occur up to submontane elevation 900+m. CRT is a lowland specialist never recorded higher than 200m.
Hope this helps.

Best Regards
Ding Li
