Crypturellus variegatus

One tinamou collected in Igarassu, Pernambuco, on 25 July 1996 (UFPE 1122) was identified as being Crypturellus variegatus and then the putative occurrence of this species in the PCE, based on this record, probably set a precedent for subsequent misidentified records of C. variegatus in Alagoas (Roda, 2003).We have checked the abovementioned specimen and it proved to be a C. soui (photos available upon request).We consider all records allegedly of C. variegatus in the PCE (Roda, 2003), probably aural encounters, to be misidentifications of C. strigulosus .
