Im guessing not in the genus Pauxi?
No. The bird in the photo is a passerine.
Is it a lyrebird of some kind?
Is it a species of tinamou? After this I give up!
Tinamous are not passerines, so no.
Oh yeah, sorry about that.Tinamous are not passerines, so no.
Is it a species in the family Calyptomenidae?
Thought I'd give it one more go.
Thought I'd give it one more go.
No. Another hint: not only is this bird's genus endemic to the Americas, but its entire family.
Wow, this one is hard. Probably the hardest one we had yet!
Another hint: many ZooChatters will have seen this species either in the wild or in captivity, but only a handful will have seen it both ways.
Wait, is in the genus Apaloderma?
Try to consider all the clues before you guess.
Yeah I know, and Im trying, but I just can't place my finger on it. I really don't know.
How about what letter does the genus of this bird start with? I promise no more hints.
C. That's the last hint, for now.
Corapipo?
Carpodectes?
