Rufous-vented Chachalaca (Ortalis ruficauda) separated by its plain grey head, lack of rufous primary edging and by its rufous underparts. The Rufous-vented Chachalaca forages for fruit in flocks of 4-20 birds, although sometimes it can be found in flocks of over 50 birds. This is the only species of chachalaca that is known to nest on the ground, though like other chachalacas it prefers to nest
