Little Tinamou (Crypturellus soui), family Tinamidae, order Tinamiformes, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
The tinamous are an ancient group of birds, related to ratites (ostriches, rheas, emus, and cassowaries).
Though they are not strong flyers, they are capable of flight.
They are shy and secretive birds.

Notopaleognathae superorder clade
Which is the best bird?
Little spotted kiwi
Puna tinamou
Emu
Darwin's rhea
my ornithology midterm's coming up, so you know what that means!!! lots of bird art is coming your way, starting with the paleognathans :) future studies of the orders will probably not be as detailed because i have like 15 or so more to go plus evolution and anatomy before tuesday, and these took me wayyyyy too long lol.
lowkey feel bad for the rhea and ostrich cause i did them first and they were very much rushed so now the emu and cassowaries are kinda mogging them 😭😭
April 30, 2026 - Small-billed Tinamou (Crypturellus parvirostris) These tinamous are found in forests, grasslands, scrub, and cultivated areas in parts of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and Argentina. Usually foraging in pairs on the ground, they feed on seeds and other plant materials, as well as insects, including termites and ants. As with closely related species, multiple females lay eggs in one nest, hidden on the ground in dense vegetation. Males incubate the eggs and care for the chicks alone.

Elegant Crested Tinamou Eudromia elegans
Wah, not as happy with this one. Brain kinda melted today. Cute lil guys! They're ratites, so more Emu, Ostrich, Rhea or Cassowary than quail or partridge. Tinamous have basal characteristics of the ratite common ancestor, & indeed is the only ratite capable of (limited) powered flight. Strange that they radiated out from flying ancestors that all decided to stick to the ground, mostly independently. The only ones that are particularly close are the Emu & Cassowary ( to my knowledge, I could be wrong).

Palaeognathes
Gray-legged Tinamou Crypturellus duidae
Native to South America, including Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela, and northern Brazil. The call of the grey-legged tinamou is described as a short hollow sounding two-syllable whistle, with the pneumonic: “whoo-whoooooooo” with a slight rise near the end. They feed primarily on low hanging or fallen fruit.

"Furtive, almost tailless small game bird that lives on the ground in humid tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge and dense secondary growth rather than forest interior. When disturbed runs rather than flies. Very rarely seen (sometimes crosses quiet roads or trails), but tremulous whistles are often heard, especially early and late in the day."
