Bartlett's Tinamou
Lowland humid forest in the western Amazon basin of Peru, Ecuador, and adjacent Colombia and Brazil. Prefers undisturbed terra firme and seasonally flooded forest interior below 400 m.
Thicket Tinamou
Dry tropical and subtropical forest, scrubland, thickets, and second growth from sea level to 1,500 m, from Mexico through Central America to northwestern Colombia. Tolerates heavily degraded and secondary habitats.

About These Birds
Bartlett's Tinamou
A small brown tinamou with obscure barring and a grey throat, named after naturalist Edward Bartlett. Found in the western Amazon basin in Peru, Ecuador, and adjacent Brazil. Terrestrial and cryptic; detected mainly by its soft clear whistle in humid forest.
Thicket Tinamou
A medium-sized tinamou with rich cinnamon-brown plumage, barred wings, and a pale throat. Widespread in dry forest and thickets from Mexico to northern Colombia. Commonly heard calling with a repeated whistle in second-growth scrub and dry forest. Adapts well to degraded habitats.
