The \u201cBrown-backed Limpkin\u201d is resident in lowlands from central Panama (Herrera) south along the Pacific slope to southwestern Ecuador (El Oro), and east through the Caribbean lowlands\u2014including the intermontane valleys of Colombia\u2014and generally throughout northern and eastern South America, south to central Argentina: to Mendoza, northern La Pampa, and southern Buenos Aires Province.\u00a0 Also resident on Trinidad.<\/p>

Like its northern counterpart, the \u201cBrown-backed Limpkin\u201d has been expanding its range into many areas where it was formerly unreported, and wanderers have been found increasingly often and farther from its traditional range.\u00a0 It has been expanding westward in the Pacific lowlands of Panama (where it seems likely to overlap with the \u201cSpeckled Limpkin\u201d at some point in the 2020s), southward along the Pacific coast (recorded in Piura, Peru), and in many parts of the South American interior where it was traditionally unrecorded.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
