Description

This bird has dark brown plumage with white primaries. It has pale flecking on the neck, upper breast and wing-coverts. It has an extensive, bare red throat and double-lobed dewlap, a blue bill with black tip, and purple facial skin around eye. Its voice is a very deep, hoarse och..och...och, especially during breeding season. This bird is endangered due to a severe loss of suitable habitat, and is also hunted for food. The current population estimated to be approximately 200 individuals. The Laquipampa Reserved Zone and the Asociación Crax 2000 was created specifically to protect this species. The largest population is now found in the Chaparri Private Conservation Area in Lambayeque where it has been successfully reintroduced and now thrives under community protection. Crax 2000 is also working to further repopulate this species in Olmos, Lambayeque. The population has now stabilized in due part from these efforts.

Feeding Habits
White-winged Guan has a varied diet consisting primarily of vegetable matter, including fruits, flowers, seeds, and leaves, with figs being of particular importance. Their foraging behavior is tailored to search for these foods, with unique adaptations for consuming their favored figs.
Habitat
The white-winged Guan is typically found in small ravines and adjacent slope forests, inhabiting altitudes ranging from 500 to 1385 meters. This environment is characterized by a biodiverse plant community with notable representation from the Fabaceae, Solanaceae, and Celastraceae families. These forests are dense with individuals from species such as Eryotheca, Pithecellobium, and Erythrina, maintaining a complex ecosystem that supports the white-winged Guan's survival.
