Speckled Chachalaca

In February 2009 Judy and I went to Peru with my law partners and their spouses. During the trip we flew into Puerto Maldonado, then took a boat trip down the Madre de Dios River to the Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica, an ecolodge just off the river and adjacent to Tambopata NR. During a day walk into the jungle right next to the ecolodge we saw a speckled chachalaca that I got some poor photos of. I identified it as an Andean guan on iNaturalist and was overruled by two others who identified it as a speckled chachala.
