The Buff-browed Chachalaca is a game bird native to northeastern Brazil, characterized by a pale supercilium (brow) above its eye. It typically inhabits dry forests and caatinga shrublands.
Where to spot
Endemic to northeastern Brazil, particularly found in states like Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, and Bahia. It prefers dry deciduous forests, gallery forests, and dense caatinga scrub.
How to spot
Listen for their loud, rhythmic chachalaca calls to locate them. They are often seen in small family groups, moving through the mid-story or lower canopy of trees. Look for the pale brow feature for identification.
When to spot
Active throughout the year. The best times for observation are during the early morning and late afternoon when they are most vocal and visible.

The buff-colored 'brow' is a subtle but distinctive field mark that helps differentiate this chachalaca from other similar species in its range.
