Appearance
Like some other puffbirds, the white-eared puffbird is a round, plump bird with a short, very narrow tail. It has a large head and orange, black-tipped bill, the head appearing almost too large for its body. The sit-and-wait feeding strategy, for insects or opportunistic prey, may explain this body shape.The bird has a medium brown back and wings, white and black flecked on the breast. The upper breast is white, extending to a narrow-to-medium-width white collar surrounding the neck. The species is named for its distinctive, medium-sized bright white ear patch. It has blackish eyes, black surrounding the white ear patch, and the same brown on its crown as on the wings and back.
