The Undulated Tinamou is a large and widespread tinamou known for its distinctive barred or 'undulated' plumage patterns. It is a common inhabitant of various lowland forest types.
Where to spot
Found across a vast range of lowland Amazonian and Guianan forests, from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia and Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, booming, somewhat drawn-out 'whoo-oo-oo' calls. Spotting it requires patience; look for slow, deliberate movements on the forest floor, especially in dense areas.
When to spot
Most vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, though its calls can often be heard at other times throughout the day.

The 'undulated' pattern refers to the fine, wavy barring on its back and wings, which provides exceptional camouflage against the dappled light and complex textures of the forest floor.
