SMALL-BILLED TINAMOU Crypturellus parvirostris
Take care with the identification of this species! The Tataupa Tinamou is very similar. If you get a good enough look check out its legs - if they are bright red its Small-billed, dull purple and its Tataupa! Even the voice is similar, the song of this species being shorter and sounding more rushed than that of its similar relative.
