Eudromia elegans
Least ConcernThe Elegant Crested-Tinamou is a distinctive open-country tinamou of Argentina and parts of southern South America. Its slim crest, barred body, and sandy coloration suit dry grasslands, scrub, and semi-arid steppe. Fun fact: When alarmed, it often runs with its neck stretched forward before making a short explosive flight.
