Abstract
The first description and images of the chick of the range restricted Chaco endemic Quebracho Crested-Tinamou Eudromia formosa are provided. They are essentially similar to adults, but possess a pale mid-dorsal stripe along the body. When crouching in a cryptic defensive posture, this stripe combines with the paler lateral stripes on the head and neck to effectively break up the outline of the bird. The identity of a Eudromia chick in the Los Angeles County museum is also confirmed as E. formosa .
Highlights
The Chaco endemic Quebracho Crested-Tinamou Eudromia formosa occurs in semi-open areas adjacent to dense, xerophytic, thorny forest with open or dense undergrowth (Smith et al 2013) in northwest Argentina, western Paraguay and extreme southeastern Bolivia (Davies 2002, Fernández et al 2009, Capllonch & Allende 2013)
