crested ill-smelling South American bird whose young have claws on the first and second digits of the wings

From Nahuatl huāctzin (which probably designated a different bird).

“The hoatzin is a very colorful bird with a blue head, a tuft of feathers standing up on the head, and an orange iris in the eye.”
“Unique among riverine bird species, the hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoatzin) is found along slow meandering streams and oxbows within the Amazon and Orinoco basins (Plate 12-43). Hoatzins resemble chickens in size and shape.”
