List of birds of Colombia

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Colombia. According to the South American Classification Committee (SACC) of the American Ornithological Society (AOS), the avifauna of Colombia has 1863 confirmed species. Of them, 84 are endemic, three have been introduced by humans, and 65 are rare or vagrants. One of the endemic species is believed to be extinct. An additional 37 species are hypothetical (see below).Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, A. Jaramillo, D. F. Lane, J. F. Pacheco, M. B. Robbins, F. G. Stiles, and K. J. Zimmer. Version 24 July 2022. A classification of the bird species of South America. American Ornithological Society. https://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.htm retrieved July 24, 2022

The Colombian province of San Andrés and Providencia is much closer to Nicaragua than to the South American mainland, so the SACC does not address records there. A 2015 publication adds 17 species whose only Colombian records are from that province and also five species to the mainland list. Three of the 17 are also considered hypothetical.Donegan, Thomas, Juan Carlos Verhelst, Paul Salaman, Oswaldo Cortes, David Caro, and Alonso Quevedo. ''Checklist of the Birds of Colombia 2015'' https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308015655_Checklist_of_the_Birds_of_Colombia_2015_-_with_footnotes_to_all_differing_taxonomic_treatments_of_IOC_AOU-SACC_and_BirdLifeHBW2014_and_all_ProAves_papers_on_occurrencestatus_Listado_de_Aves_de_Colombia A 2020 publication adds four more species (one offshore sighting, two vagrants to the mainland, and one vagrant to San Andrés and Providencia). (The SACC does not address records from more that 200 miles offshore.) Another vagrant species whose published record has not been evaluated by the SACC is also included.

The total number of species presented here is 1925. Of them, 87 are endemic and 71 are vagrants.

Unless noted otherwise, the list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families, and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) are also those of the SACC.

The following tags have been used to highlight several categories.

* (V) Vagrant - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Colombia
* (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Colombia
* (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Colombia as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
* (H) Hypothetical - a species recorded but with "no tangible evidence" according to the SACC
* (SA) San Andrés - a species whose only Colombian records are from the province of San Andrés and Providencia

Tinamous

Order: TinamiformesFamily: Tinamidae

The tinamous are one of the most ancient groups of bird. Although they look similar to other ground-dwelling birds like quail and grouse, they have no close relatives and are classified as a single family, Tinamidae, within their own order, the Tinamiformes.

Puffbirds

Order: GalbuliformesFamily: Bucconidae

The puffbirds are related to the jacamars and have the same range, but lack the iridescent colors of that family. They are mainly brown, rufous, or gray, with large heads and flattened bills with hooked tips. The loose abundant plumage and short tails makes them look stout and puffy, giving rise to the English common name of the family. Twenty-four species have been recorded in Colombia.

Many species lack bright color, with brown, black, and white being the dominant tones. One hundred fourteen species have been recorded in Colombia.
