Habitat Comparison
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.
White-throated Tinamou
Lowland humid tropical forest in the western and central Amazon basin, from southern Colombia and Venezuela south through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia to western Brazil. Prefers undisturbed terra firme forest interior.
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.
White-throated Tinamou
Gives high-pitched, pure whistles in a series of 3-4 notes, descending in pitch. Song carries through humid lowland forest. Considered more musical than most other tinamous.

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.
White-throated Tinamou
A medium-large tinamou with bold white spotting on brown upperparts and a distinctive white throat patch. Found in lowland Amazonian rainforest. Its resonant flute-like call is one of the signature sounds of Amazonian forests. Feeds on fallen fruits, seeds, and invertebrates on the forest floor.
