Andean Potoo (Nyctibius maculosus). Cabanas San Isidro, Cosanga, eastern Andes, Ecuador. This nocturnal bird is apparently quite difficult to find during daylight, but when found at a day roost is invariably asleep. They also can lay an egg on exposed sites like this, with the egg wedged into a cavity.
