The Red-winged Tinamou is a large and distinctive tinamou known for its robust body and characteristic rufous (reddish-brown) underwing linings. It primarily inhabits open grassy areas.
Where to spot
Found in grasslands, savannas, agricultural fields, and open woodlands across much of central and eastern South America, from Brazil to Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its mournful, whistling call. Scan open fields and edges of cover. When flushed, observe the diagnostic red underwings for positive identification.
When to spot

Unlike many tinamous that prefer to run, the Red-winged Tinamou often performs a short, rapid flight when flushed, conspicuously revealing the striking red on its wings.
