A brown pelican ( Pelecanus occidentalis) individual was recorded and photographed in the urban area of Santarem, northern Brazil. The bird perched on the roof of a fish market (2°25'S, 54°43'W) located on the Tapajos River bank in Santarem urban area, and stayed in the region for at least 45 days. This is the third record and the first photographic record of the brown pelican for inland Brazil.
