Glaucidium brasilianum;
Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl;
Caburé.

There are different color variants of this species, for example a gray-brown variant (this photo), and a rufous one (see first photo). They co-exist in the same locality; I have seen both, rufous and gray-brown individuals, in the trees close to my house.
