The Flammulated Owl (Otus flammeolus) has flame coloured feathers which give the owl its name. It gained its scientific name of flammeolus from the Latin word for 'flame' or 'flame-shaped', a direct reference to its flamelike colouration.
The Flammulated Owl is also known as the Flammulated Scops Owl, or sometimes the Dwarf Owl. It was previously known as the Flammulated Screech Owl.
