Unlike other ratites, tinamous can fly, although in general, they are not strong fliers. Ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds.[4] The hooded tinamou has two subspecies:
Habitat and rangeThe hooded tinamou is found in montane moist forest up to {{convert|1550|to(-)|3000|m|ft|abbr=on}} altitude.[5] This species is native to the Andes in Bolivia and Peru.[6] DescriptionHooded tinamou is light brown above and narrowly freckled with black in color. It is paler below with dusky bars, belly pale-spotted, and averages {{convert|33|cm|in|abbr=on}} long. BehaviorLike other tinamous, the hooded tinamou eats fruit off the ground or low-lying bushes. They also eat small amounts of invertebrates, flower buds, tender leaves, seeds, and roots. The male incubates the eggs which may come from as many as 4 different females, and then will raise them until they are ready to be on their own, usually 2–3 weeks. The nest is located on the ground in dense brush or between raised root buttresses.[4] ConservationThis species has an estimated global extent of occurrence of {{convert|35000|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}.[5] Footnotes1. ^{{IUCN|id=22678160 |title=Nothocercus nigrocapillus |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^1 2 Brands, S.
