The Aplomado falcon

The aplomado falcon is a medium-sized falcon of the Americas. The species' largest contiguous range is in South America, but not in the deep interior Amazon Basin. It was long known as "Falco fusco-coerulescens" or "Falco fuscocaerulescens", but these names are now believed to refer to the bat falco.
