Habitat Comparison
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.
Yellow-legged Tinamou
Atlantic Forest remnants in eastern Brazil from Bahia south to Rio Grande do Sul. Prefers humid lowland and foothill forest with dense understorey. Increasingly restricted to forest fragments due to deforestation.
Song & Call Comparison

A soft, repeated whistle from Amazonian lowland forest. Less well known than other Crypturellus; its call is a simple 2-note descending whistle given from dense cover.
Yellow-legged Tinamou
A slow, clear, somewhat melancholic whistle repeated at intervals. Nocturnal calling behavior makes it easier to hear than to see in Atlantic Forest and Cerrado.
Geographic Range & Migration
Bartlett's Tinamou
Ranges from southern Mexico through Central America to northern South America. Sedentary in humid lowland forest understory.
Yellow-legged Tinamou
Inhabits humid forests of eastern Brazil from Bahia to Rio Grande do Sul. Sedentary; restricted to Atlantic Forest remnants.

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.
