Chilean Tinamou

Nothoprocta perdicaria

Least Concern

The Chilean Tinamou is a ground bird of central Chile's dry grasslands, matorral, fields, and open scrub. It is plump, streaked, and usually stays concealed until it runs or flushes from cover. Fun fact: It is locally known as perdiz chilena, though it is a tinamou rather than a true partridge.
