tinamou Explanation: There can't be too many possibilities, so I googled flightless birds of the Andes and immediately got rhea as a hit, of which there are two species, but neither seems to be native to Colombia. Another possibility is one of the tinamous, which are related to the ratites (flightless birds) but aren't flightless, although they don't fly well and prefer to run. Here's a link to the tinamu choco (maybe cocona is derived from this word). Reference: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypturellus_kerriae |
