Black-eared Wood-Quail Odontophorus melanotis
This species is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Rufous-fronted Wood-Quail Odontophorus erythrops of northern South America. If considered as a separate species, it is a Central America endemic with a range that extends from Panama to eastern Honduras, at least as far as Lancetilla Botanic Gardens. The four records mentioned by Monroe are from the north coast and the Olancho. However, Bonta and Anderson (who both worked extensively in eastern Honduras) consider this to be a common species in the country. My only sightings of this species have been in Costa Rica.
