Barred Tinamou only
Curve-billed Tinamou only
Barred Tinamou
Restricted to humid lowland forest along the Casiquiare canal region of southern Venezuela and extreme northwestern Brazil. Associated with river-edge and flooded forest at low elevations. Rarely recorded.
Curve-billed Tinamou
High puna grassland, paramo, and scrubby slopes at 3,000–4,500 m in the Andes of Ecuador and northern Peru. Associated with wet paramo, cushion bogs, and rocky terrain.
Song & Call Comparison
Barred Tinamou
A slow, hollow whistle from blackwater river forest of the upper Orinoco. Call is distinctive but rarely recorded given its restricted range on the Venezuela-Colombia border.
Curve-billed Tinamou
A soft, falling 2-note whistle from Andean cloud forest edges. Carries well through mist-shrouded vegetation. Considered a quieter species overall among highland tinamous.
Geographic Range & Migration
Barred Tinamou
Inhabits savannas and forest edges of northeastern Brazil's semi-arid Caatinga region. Sedentary and endemic to this biome.
Curve-billed Tinamou
Restricted to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais). Sedentary; critically threatened.

About These Birds
Barred Tinamou
A small tinamou with distinctly barred brown-and-buff plumage. Restricted to the Casiquiare region of Venezuela and adjacent northwestern Brazil—one of the most restricted tinamou ranges. Nearly all data come from specimens. Inhabits humid lowland forest along river systems.
Curve-billed Tinamou
A small compact tinamou with a notably long decurved bill, brown-streaked plumage, and pale underparts. Found in high Andean grasslands in Ecuador and Peru. The curved bill is adapted to probing soil for invertebrates and tubers in puna habitats.
