Patagonian Tinamou

Tinamotis ingoufi

Least Concern

The Patagonian Tinamou is an open-country bird of the dry steppes and shrublands of southern Argentina and Chile. It is cryptically colored, with streaked brown and buff plumage that helps it disappear among grasses and stony ground. Fun fact: Tinamou eggs are often glossy and surprisingly colorful for such secretive birds.
