The Chestnut-eared Aracari, Pteroglossus castanotis is a native bird to central and southeast South America of the Ramphastidae family, the toucans, toucanets, barbets, aracaris, etc. Although it resembles the Black-necked Aracari, it is a larger, more colorful bird.
Distribution
Range: Amazon Basin and Cerrado
The range of the Chestnut-eared Aracari is the southern Amazon Basin, especially the southwestern Basin, also the Andean foothills; a narrowing range extension enters central-southern Colombia by 900 km.
The southern Amazon Basin range narrows in the southeast to only the upstream half-headwaters of the north-flowing Amazon River tributaries; this range countinues southeastwards into the central and southern Cerrado and ends at eastern Paraguay, southeastern Brazil and the extreme northeast of Argentina.
