The first description and images of the chick of the range restricted Chaco endemic Quebracho Crested-Tinamou Eudromia formosa are provided. They are essentially similar to adults, but possess a pale mid-dorsal stripe along the body. When crouching in a cryptic defensive posture, this stripe combines with the paler lateral stripes on the head and neck to effectively break up the outline of the bird. The identity of a Eudromia chick in the Los Angeles County museum is also confirmed as E. formosa .
