If this taxon "only" should be considered a new subspecies or should be considered an entirely new species is something I will refrain from commenting on here. Actually, the "Amazonian White-winged" has been seen by quite a few birders (it is uncommon to rare, but still fairly regular north of Manaus, Brazil, in Caxiuaña in the Belém region, Brazil, and near Iquitos, Peru), while extremely few have seen the already described White-winged Potoo from the Atlantic forest in eastern Brazil.</p></blockquote><p></p>
