The common potoo, or poor-me-ones, or urutau is one of seven species of birds within the genus "Nyctibius". It is notable for its large, yellow eyes and a wide mouth. Potoos are nocturnal and are related to nightjars and frogmouths. They lack the characteristic bristles around the mouths of true nightjars.
