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.

Song & Call Comparison

Barred Tinamou

Şarkı

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.

Little Tinamou

Şarkı

A soft, high-pitched, repeated whistle — higher in pitch than most tinamous due to its small size. Song is 2-3 ascending notes. Gives thin alarm 'seet' when disturbed.

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.

Little Tinamou

One of the smallest tinamous, with warm brown plumage, rufous underparts, and a red bill. Widespread from southern Mexico to Bolivia and central Brazil. Inhabits forest edges, thickets, and secondary growth in humid lowlands. Its loud ascending whistle carries far through dense vegetation.
