A River Plate classic. The spotted tinamou (or common perdiz), gets up with an explosive take-off and flies swiftly and in a straight line making it a very challenging target, one that upland gunners love to hunt over pointing dogs.

The terrain is always easy-short-grass pastures with no brush. On a very good day it is possible to see up to 25 points in an hour, making for very exciting action. The dog work set-up is similar to that of the giant perdiz mentioned before.
