Hesperoburhinus bistriatus

Least Concern

The Double-striped Thick-knee is a shorebird of Central and South American dry lowlands and open country. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
