The Double-striped Thick-knee Burhinus bistriatus, is a Stone-curlew, a group of waders in the family Burhinidae. It is a resident breeder in Central and South America.
It is a largely nocturnal species of arid grasslands and other dry, open habitats. The Double-striped Thick-knee is a medium-large wader with a strong black and yellow bill, large yellow eyes, which give it a reptilian appearance, and cryptic plumage. The scientific genus name refers to the prominent joints in the long greenish-grey legs, and bistriatus to the two stripes of the head pattern. The head has a strong white supercilium bordered above by a black stripe.
