N. c. cinerascens (Burmeister, 1860) N. c. parvimaculata (Olrog [de; fr; sv; fi; nl], 1959) The brushland tinamou (Nothoprocta cinerascens) is a type of tinamou commonly found in high-altitude dry shrubland in subtropical and tropical regions of southern South America.

[5] Hermann Burmeister first identified the brushland tinamou from a specimen from Tucumán Province, Argentina, in 1860.

[1][7] The call of the brushland tinamou is a series of seven to ten clear whistled notes that carry, and will be hard as they defend their range of about 50 acres (20 ha).

Males attract two to four females and supervise their laying of eggs in the nest, which is typically hidden in brush.

[5] The brushland tinamou is classified by the IUCN as Least Concern,[1] with an occurrence range of 1,200,000 km2 (460,000 sq mi).
