Ornate Tinamou
The Ornate Tinamou, Nothoprocta ornata, is a type of Tinamou commonly found in the high altitude grassland and dry shrubland in subtropical and tropical regions of west central South America.
Etymology
Nothoprocta comes from two Greek words, nothos meaning spurious or counterfeit and prÅktos meaning hindpart or tail. Experts are unsure, however, they believe that this refers to the hidden tail of this Genus behind body feathers.
