Curve-billed Tinamou

Nothoprocta curvirostris

Least Concern

The Curve-billed Tinamou is a high-Andean tinamou of dry shrublands, grasslands, and rocky slopes in Ecuador and Peru. Its slightly downcurved bill and streaked plumage suit a foraging life among sparse plants and stones. Fun fact: The species is typically seen singly or in pairs, slipping away quietly through open cover.
