The Cinereous Tinamou is a widespread and common ground-dwelling bird of the Amazon basin, characterized by its uniform dusky-gray plumage. It is a shy and secretive species, more often heard than seen, with its distinctive calls echoing through the tropical rainforest.
Where to spot
Lowland tropical moist forests and swampy areas throughout the Amazon basin, including Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
How to spot
Listen for its simple, mournful whistle, which is a key identification feature often described as a soft 'woo-woo-woo'. Scan the forest floor and dense undergrowth in suitable habitats. Remaining still and patient is crucial, as they are very wary and camouflaged.
When to spot
Most vocal and active during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its preferred habitat.

Cinereous Tinamous, like other tinamous, are part of an ancient lineage of birds that are thought to be closely related to the flightless ratites (ostriches, emus, rheas), despite being capable of limited flight.
