- Glaucidium brasilianum
Includes Ridgway's Pygmy-Owl
Identification
Red, brown, and grey morphs occur, and tail varies having whitish, orange-buffy, or no bars.
Distribution
From Arizona and south-east Texas through Mexico and Central America to South America where found east of the Andes to Argentina.
Taxonomy
Twelve subspecies are recognized by Clements1.
In the past, Austral Pygmy-Owl and Tucuman Pygmy-Owl have been considered part of Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. Konig et al.2 additionally have split subspecies ridgwayi (including cactorum and the not universally recognized saturatum) as the full species Ridgway's Pygmy-Owl Glaucidium ridgwayi which would include the birds from Panama to the USA; this has not been recognized by any of the world-wide checklists.
Habitat
Lowland forests to semiopen areas.
Behaviour
