The White-browed Guan is endemic to northeastern Brasil, and threatened by extinction (IUCN Red List, IBAMA 2003). Still, the species is a favorite target of hunters, here and elsewhere in the Northeast.

The photo was taken from a hide close to a waterhole, where a group of Jacu used to drink. This bird passed at 2-3 meters distance from my hide, in a fortunate moment with some sunlight.
