A bird sitting on a tree branch with white and black head and white throat, orange bill, greyish breast and flanks with hints of barring and scalloped rufous-brown on wings and back.

This character was found at the edge of the Brazilian Cerrado thanks to its loud whinnying song. I love its descriptive name--white-eared puffbird. Seems quite appropriate given its puffed-up appearance! 🪶🌿🇧🇷 #brazilbirds #avesbrasil #birdinginbrazil #whiteearedpuffbird
