Well done for getting this brand new species, so new that they are not sure of the correct description of it. I found that the Otus gilesi is the possible name they have given it.

Oh very nice indeed Gustavo - a super start to your Gallery.

I've linked your picture to the Opus Megascops page, so it can be found when someone finally gets around to properly describing this new bird.
