A slaty-breasted tinamou at 20 days differed little in color and size from adults. Conservation status Eleven species are threatened, mainly because clearing and development have fragmented their habitats. The rarest are the Magdalena tinamou (Crypturellus saltuarius), known from one specimen, and Kalinowski's tinamou (Nothoprocta kalinowskii), not seen for many years.
