Nothura
''Nothura'' is a genus of birds in the tinamou family. This genus comprises five members of this South American family. Tinamous are paleognaths related to the flightless ratites. They are probably close in appearance to the flying ancestors of the ratites.Davies, S. J. J. F.

Tinamou
Tinamous () form an order of birds called Tinamiformes (), comprising a single family called Tinamidae (), divided into two distinct subfamilies, containing 46 species found in Mexico, Central America, and South America. The word "tinamou" comes from the Galibi term for these birds, ''tinamu''. Tinamous have traditionally been regarded as the sister group of the flightless ratites, but recent work places them well within the ratite radiation, implying basal ratites could fly. Tinamous first appear in the fossil record in the Miocene epoch. They are generally sedentary, ground-dwelling and, though not flightless, when possible avoid flight in favour of hiding or running away from danger. They are found in a variety of habitats, ranging from semi-arid alpine grasslands to tropical rainforests. The two subfamilies are broadly divided by habitat, with the Nothurinae referred to as steppe or open country tinamous, and the Tinaminae known as forest tinamous. Although some species are ...

Spotted Nothura
__NOTOC__ The spotted nothura (''Nothura maculosa'') is a species of tinamou. This bird is native to grassy habitats in eastern and southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and eastern and northern Argentina.Clements, J. (2007) Description The spotted nothura is approximately in length. The upper parts are brown with streaked buff. The under parts are buff streaked with black and brown on the breast, with barring to the flanks. Its crown is black streaked with buff and the throat is white. The overall hue in colour varies greatly over its range; in part caused by the differences in soil at the specific localities. It and the closely related Chaco nothura, ''N. chacoensis'', are the only nothuras with barring to both webs of the primaries. The legs are dull yellowish-grey or brown. Behavior The call of the spotted nothura is a series of brief high-pitched notes. Feeding The spotted nothura eats plants, typically seeds, and animal matter. In Argentina they seem to eat more of the ani ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

White-bellied Nothura
The white-bellied nothura (''Nothura boraquira'') is a species of tinamou found in dry shrublands in northeastern Bolivia, western Paraguay, and northeastern Brazil. Taxonomy The white-bellied nothura is a monotypic species. All tinamous are from the family Tinamidae, and in the larger scheme are also ratites. Unlike other ratites, tinamous can fly, although in general, they are not strong fliers. All ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds. Description The white-bellied nothura is approximately in length. Its upper parts are light brown and barred black with white streaks. Its throat is white, its foreneck is buff with black streaking, its breast is buff and its belly is white. Its crown is dark brown and the sides of its head are buff. The legs are bright yellow and the inner webs of its primaries are uniformly dark, unlike in the closely related spotted nothura.

Darwin's Nothura
Darwin's nothura (''Nothura darwinii'') is a type of tinamou commonly found in high-altitude grassland in the southern Andes in South America. Etymology The name of the species is named after Charles Darwin, an eminent English naturalist, to commemorate him. Taxonomy All tinamou are from the family Tinamidae, and in the larger scheme are also ratites. Unlike other ratites, tinamous can fly, although in general, they are not strong fliers. All ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds. Subspecies * ''N. d. darwinii'', the nominate race, occurs in the Patagonian steppes of south-central Argentina * ''N. d. peruviana'' occurs in southern Peru, in the Urubamba Valley in Cusco Region * ''N. d. agassizii'' occurs in the altiplano of southeastern Peru and western Bolivia * ''N. d. boliviana'' occurs in the highlands of western Bolivia; Cochabamba, Chuquisaca, Potosí, Oruro, and Tarija Departments * ''N. d. salvado ...
