Thanks! I got this from 'Birds of Venezuela' by Steven Hilty. Potoos have enormous eyes and mouths and in general resemble nightjars, as they have very cryptic plumage, but they differ from them in, among other things, their vertical perching posture, larger size, and absence of rictal bristles. They are in the order Caprimulgiforme with Nighthawks and Nightjars but are in the Nyctibiidae family whereas the Nighthawks and Nightjars are in the Aguaitacaminos family.
