The red-winged tinamou responds with "What me, never again".

For example, the egg of the red-winged tinamou dulls from purple to leaden.

The red-winged tinamou has three subspecies:

The red-winged tinamou have vocal males that are a longs ringing single whistle followed by shorter sad whistles.

A Brazilian legend explains of the separation of the red-winged tinamou and the undulated tinamou.

Size difference allows the red-winged tinamou and the spotted nothura to coexist, as they both occupy the same habitat of Brazil, the tropical savanna.

Rhynchotus rufescens (red-winged tinamou)

The red-winged tinamou (Rhynchotus rufescens) is a medium-sized ground-living bird from central and eastern South America.

The red-winged tinamou has been bred on farms in France, Great Britain, Belgium, and Denmark.

The undulated tinamou went into the deepest dark of the forest, and the red-winged tinamou wanting to be different went to the grassy plains.

Previously, it was considered a subspecies of the red-winged tinamou, but it has a different song, and its head and neck are streaked and spotted black.

Here also are the red-winged tinamou which prefers open ground with some scrub, and the Andean tinamou which prefers dense vegetation beside streams.

Some species, such as the red-winged tinamou, utilize multiple habitats such as the open savannas of Amazonia and the dry valleys of the Andes.

Coenraad Jacob Temminck first identified the red-winged tinamou from a specimen from São Paulo state, Brazil, in 1815.

The red-winged tinamou has been reintroduced to the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where its wild population was hunted to extermination at the turn of the 20th century.

Examples of captive breeding are small-billed tinamou in Minas Gerais and red-winged tinamou in Rio Grande do Sul.

Previously, the taxon maculicollis was considered a subspecies of the red-winged tinamou, but following SACC it is now considered a species in its own right; the huayco tinamou.

Like all tinamous, the red-winged tinamou is a popular target for hunters, and in areas of high human population density number have declined, but the species has also increased in some areas where forest clearance has created favourable habitat.
