The dusky-legged guan (Penelope obscura) is a species of bird in the family Cracidae, the chachalacas, guans, and curassows. It is found in Uruguay, northeastern Argentina and southernmost areas of Paraguay and Brazil. In early 2021, the former subspecies P. o. bridgesi, found in southwestern Bolivia and northwestern Argentina, was elevated to species rank as Yungas guan.

I like how the red dewlap of this Band-tailed Guan is matched by the colour of the Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) growing wild at the El Dorado Lodge in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia, South America. This bird is also displaying a prominent crest.

Cerro Jefe, Panamá. This bird, along with several companions, was an unexpected find that I first thought was a vulture due to its color and size. My guide was excited to see the bird in the area we were exploring. The guan populations are under pressure from hunting. Thanks for looking and any comments or feedback.
From wiki: The guans are a number of bird genera which make up the largest group in the family Cracidae (with the chachalaca and curassow) . They are found mainly in northern South America, southern Central America, and a few adjacent Caribbean islands. There is also the peculiar horned guan (Oreophasis derbianus) which is not a true guan, but a very distinct and ancient cracid with no close living relatives.

They are the size of a small turkey or a large chicken.

The Band-tailed Guan is normally an elusive species apart from nesting season, but they were readily seen in the area of El Dorado Lodge (where they get both food and protection). That excellent base for birdwatching is in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia, South America. These birds are usually seen up in trees as in this image.
