Variegated tinamou (Crypturellus variegatus)

Probably the prettiest tinamou I've seen! Luckily, it was one of these occasions where it walked slowly away from me, instead of exploding practically from underfoot like a snipe and disappearing in the distance. It walked maybe 10 meters downhill and then appeared to be quite curious, popping back up a few times, never moving farther away, allowing for some great views, though I never had a shot at a completely clear photo.
