Bartlett's tinamou
Bartlett's tinamou (Crypturellus bartletti) is a type of tinamou found in lowland forest in South America. Taxonomy
The Bartlett's tinamou is a monotypic species. 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. Etymology
Crypturellus is formed from three Latin or Greek words. Kruptos meaning covered or hidden, oura meaning tail, and ellus meaning diminutive. Therefore, Crypturellus means small hidden tail. Bartletti comes from the Latin form of Bartlett to commemorate Edward Bartlett. Range and habitat

This species is native to western Amazonian Brazil, northern Bolivia, and eastern Peru, in South America. It is also found in eastern Ecuador. Over its range, it is considered uncommon. Description
