The Santa Marta tinamou, Crypturellus erythropus idoneus, is a sub-species of Tinamou that was recognized as a species by most authorities until 2006. It is found in northern South America.[3]
Contents
Etymology
Crypturellus is formed from three Latin or Greek words. kruptos meaning covered or hidden, oura meaning tail, and ellus meaning diminutive. Therefore Crypturellus means small hidden tail.[4]
Taxonomy
The Santa Marta tinamou is a member of the ratites, a group of flightless birds with the tinamous being the only genus that flies. Up until 2006 they were generally accepted as a separate species; however, that year the SACC rejected a proposal to separate this species out and thus they have now generally been lumped back into the Crypturellus erythropus genus.[5]
Range
They are located in the northwestern portion of Venezuela and northeastern Colombia.[3]
