Red-winged Tinamou

Rhynchotus rufescens

Least Concern

The Red-winged Tinamou is a large open-country tinamou of grasslands, savannas, and cerrado across central and eastern South America. It has a strong body, long neck, and reddish tones in the wings that show best when flushed. Fun fact: It gives a loud, far-carrying whistle that often reveals its presence before it is seen.
