The Eurasian hoopoe is a medium-sized bird, 25 to 32cm long with a wingspan of 44 to 48cm, weighing 46 to 89g. One was recorded at about 6,400m by the first Mount Everest expedition (Wikipedia, general species account).
The only source read for the Bhutan guide gives these measurements and the altitude record. No plumage, range, habitat, diet or breeding information was found, so none is stated, and the entry is kept short.
