Rufous Potoo
Rarely observed, nocturnal bird of lowland rainforest. Considerably smaller than other potoos, and distinguished from them by bright rufous plumage spotted with white. The Rufous Potoo is found in the understory, where during the day the bird rocks back and forth on its perch, thereby heightening its resemblance to a dead leaf.
This one was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
