Genus Ortalis
Chaco Chachalaca - The Chaco Chachalaca is a species of bird in the Cracidae family. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Gray-headed Chachalaca - The Grey-headed Chachalaca is an arboreal species, found in thickets with emergent trees. The broad shallow nest is built of twigs and vines 1-3 m up in a tree, often partially screened by vines. The female lays three or four large rough-shelled white eggs and incubates them alone.
Chestnut-winged Chachalaca - The Chestnut-winged Chachalaca is a species of bird in the Cracidae family. It is found only in Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
Speckled Chachalaca - Several taxa here included as subspecies of the Speckled Chachalaca have been considered valid species instead; the Colombian Chachalaca in the inter-Andean valleys in Colombia, the Scaled Chachalaca in south-eastern Brazil, and the East Brazilian Chachalaca in eastern Brazil. The last of these has also been referred to as the Brazilian Chachalaca or the White-bellied Chachalaca, although the former arguably is problematic as numerous other chachalacas are found in Brazil, while the latter leads to easy confusion with the Central American Ortalis leucogastra. Alternatively, araucuan and squamata have been included as subspecies of the Little Chachalaca . All three, columbiana, araucuan and squamata, were originally described as valid species, but – without reason – changed to subspecies of O. guttata in the Peters' check-list. Nevertheless, they all have white scaling/spotting on the lower neck and chest, thus resembling the Amazonian nominate group , and most recent authorities continue to treat all as subsp
White-bellied Chachalaca - The White-bellied Chachalaca is a species of bird in the Cracidae family. It is found in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
Rufous-vented Chachalaca - Rufous-vented Chachalaca is a largely arboreal species found in forest and woodland, but it is also found in more open dry scrubby areas. This combined with relatively low hunting pressure, make it far less vulnerable than larger members of the family, notably curassows.
Buff-browed Chachalaca - The Buff-browed Chachalaca is a species of bird in the Cracidae family. It is found only in Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Plain chachalaca - In Central America, this species occurs in the Pacific lowlands from Chiapas, Mexico to northern Nicaragua and as a separate population in Costa Rica, where its range is separated by a short distance, as a disjunct population.
