The Marbled Wood Quail (Odontophorus gujanensis) is a medium-sized, ground-dwelling wood quail known for its mottled plumage that provides excellent camouflage. It primarily inhabits humid lowland forests across a wide range in South America.
Where to spot
Widely distributed across the Amazon basin and surrounding areas of South America, from Colombia east to the Guianas and south to Bolivia and Brazil.
How to spot
Look for it foraging quietly on the forest floor. Listen for its low, cooing calls, often given in pairs or small groups. Approach quietly and be patient, as they are shy.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk when foraging for food. Can be found year-round within its tropical forest habitat.

Its 'marbled' name refers to the intricate, vermiculated patterns on its feathers, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the leaf litter of the forest floor.
