Speckled chachalaca

Ortalis guttata

The speckled chachalaca is a species of bird in the family Cracidae. It is found in forests and woodlands in the western Amazon Basin. It has distinct white scaling/spotting on the lower neck and chest, but otherwise it resembles other chachalacas, it being vaguely pheasant-like, and with an overall brown plumage.

Status

It is common in large parts of its Amazonian range. Nevertheless, its tolerance of disturbed habitats combined with its relatively small size makes it far less vulnerable than, for instance, the related curassows.
