Alternative name: Rufous Tinamou; includes Huayco Tinamou
- Rhynchotus rufescens

Length 40cm.
Distribution
Brazil south of the Amazon, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina; this species is resident.
Habitat
Dry grassy scrub and open forest in lowlands for most forms; the Huayco Tinamou is a highland form found above cloud forest in humid grassland.
Taxonomy
Subspecies
Subspecies catingae occurs in central Brazil, nominate race from Peru east to north-east Brazil and south to Uruguay and eastern Argentina, pallescens in northern Argentina, and maculicollis in west and south Bolivia and north-western Argentina.
Status of Huayco Tinamou maculicollis
Some authorities (Sibley & Monroe, 1996; SACC, 2008) treat Huayco Tinamou (R. r. maculicollis) as a full species citing evidence of substantial vocal differences (Maijer, 1996). However, Clements (2007) and Howard & Moore (2003) retain it as a subspecies of rufescens and the Opus follows in this consensus.
Behaviour
Jaramillo[2] describes the song of the two forms as "Pheeew weeu weeu" in Rhynchotus rufescens and "Wheee- cooo!" in maculicollis.
