Habitat Comparison
Grey-legged Tinamou
Montane forest and shrubby tepui slopes at 600–1,800 m on isolated table-mountains in southern Venezuela and adjacent northern Brazil. Restricted range; known from very few locations.
Solitary Tinamou
Dense Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil from Bahia south to Rio Grande do Sul, into northeastern Argentina and Paraguay. Prefers humid lowland and foothill forest with closed canopy and thick undergrowth. Below 900 m.
Song & Call Comparison
Grey-legged Tinamou
A series of hollow whistles with a slightly husky tone. Calls from dense forest floor cover in tepui foothills. Considered vocally conservative among Crypturellus tinamous.
Solitary Tinamou
Delivers a pure, mournful flute-like whistle repeated slowly. The call is a single clear 'whooo' rising then falling, given from dense understory. Less frequently heard than other tinamous.
Geographic Range & Migration
Grey-legged Tinamou
Endemic to the humid Andean slopes of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Sedentary in cloud forest from 800 to 2,200 m.
Solitary Tinamou
