The Collared Puffbird, known scientifically as <em>Bucco capensis</em>, is a bird belonging to the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds. <em>Bucco capensis</em> is characterised by its rotund, large-headed appearance typical of puffbirds, with cryptic brown and rufous patterning and a distinctive collar that gives the species its common name. Puffbirds are typically sedentary, sit-and-wait predators, perching motionlessly for extended periods before lunging to capture prey including insects and small vertebrates. The Collared Puffbird is associated with tropical forest habitats in South America. It is reported to occur in Colombia, Ecuador, Norway, and Venezuela. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Puffbird is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating a stable population without significant global conservation concerns.
