Spanish: Halcón Pechirrojo
Taxonomy: Falco deiroleucus Temminck, 1825, São Francisco Island, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Vocalizations most unusual among falcons, shared only with F. rufigularis, to which probably closely related; sometimes associated with F. peregrinus complex, but now appears clearly related to hobbies. Monotypic.
Distribution: S Mexico S through Central America to Colombia, E to the Guianas and Trinidad, and E of Andes S through Brazil and Bolivia to Paraguay and N Argentina. Formerly thought to nest only around periphery of Amazon, but recent records of adults and juveniles in C Brazilian Amazonia suggest that species breeds throughout extensive range.
