White-necked Puffbird (Notharchus hyperrhynchus) in Inirida, Guainía, Colombia. Guide: John Cahiil/xikanel.com and Fernando Guarin. Sound recording by Peter Boesman on Xeno canto (XC226693).
This is probably the most widespread Puffbird, found from southern Mexico to Brazil and Bolivia.
The "hyperrhynchus"in its Latin name describes the bird's notably heavy, stout, and oversized black bill, which it uses to catch and dispatch large insects like cicadas.
