Psophia crepitans (Grey-winged Trumpeter)

Wikipedia Abstract

The grey-winged trumpeter (Psophia crepitans) is a member of a small family of birds, the Psophiidae. It is found in the northern Amazon rainforest and Guiana Shield in tropical South America. Unlike all other trumpeters, the rump and back are grey in the grey-winged trumpeter. The grey-winged trumpeter is a dumpy, guineafowl-like bird with a long neck and legs, and short yellow chicken-like bill. It is 48–56 centimetres (19–22 in) long and 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lb) in weight. The soft plumage is mainly black, but the feathers of the inner wing are grey.
