About the White-bellied Nothura

The white-bellied nothura (Nothura boraquira) is a species of tinamou found in dry shrublands in northeastern Bolivia, western Paraguay, and northeastern Brazil. The white-bellied nothura is a monotypic species. All tinamous are from the family Tinamidae, and in the larger scheme are also ratites. Unlike other ratites, tinamous can fly, although in general, they are not strong fliers. All ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 36 recordings for this species: 4 CC BY-NC-SA · 2 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
