The Starred Wood Quail (Odontophorus stellatus) is a wood quail named for the small, star-like white spots or flecks on its plumage, especially on its underparts. It lives in humid Amazonian forests.
Where to spot
Found in the western Amazon basin, including southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, and western Brazil. Inhabits humid lowland forests.
How to spot
This shy ground bird is best found by listening for its calls, which are typically a series of resonant hoots. Patience and a keen eye are needed to spot it moving through the dense undergrowth.
When to spot
Dawn and dusk are the best times to observe or hear this species, as it is most active during these periods.

The 'starred' appearance is due to numerous small white spots, particularly on its blackish breast, giving it a unique patterned look that distinguishes it from other wood quails.
