Tinamou

“Tinamou is the name given to a genus and family of birds occurring in South America, and allied in some respects to the ostrich and emu. They somewhat resemble a partridge, and vary in size from that of a pheasant down to that of a quail. The great tinamou is about 18 inches long, and inhabits the forests of Guiana."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
