Colombian tinamou
Subspecies of bird
The Colombian tinamou, Crypturellus erythropus columbianus, is a tinamou found in Córdoba, Sucre, Bolívar, and Antioquia in north-central Colombia.[2] Little is known about it. It occurs in lowland moist forest and shrubland at elevation up to 600 m (2,000 ft).
It is sometimes treated as a distinct species, and sometimes as a subspecies of the red-legged tinamou. The SACC rejected a proposal to elevate it to species status, arguing that the presently available data fail to support the split. BirdLife International followed this treatment;[3] hence the Colombian tinamou has been dropped from the 2007 IUCN Red List.[4]
