Brazilian tinamou
The Brazilian tinamou (Crypturellus strigulosus) is a type of tinamou found in tropical moist lowland forest in regions of Amazonian South America. 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. Taxonomy

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
