Horned coot
The horned coot (''Fulica cornuta'') is a species of bird found in the Andes of South America. It was described by Bonaparte in 1853 based on a specimen collected in Bolivia. For a long time it was known only from the type specimen. ==Description== Horned coot males average a little larger than the female. With a total length of 46–62 cm (18–24 in) and a reported body mass from , it averages slightly smaller than the related giant coot as the second largest coot and the third largest extant species of rail.〔Jaramillo, A.

The three wattles terminate in tufts of filoplumes. At the base of the beak and below the wattle is a fleshy caruncle which is whitish. The bill is olive yellow, brightening to dull orange towards the base. Unlike the giant coot, the legs of the horned coot are dull greenish.〔
