The Pale-winged Trumpeter (Psophia leucoptera) is a species of bird in the Psophiidae family. It is found in the southwestern Amazon Basin of Brazil in a contiguous range between three river systems, including the Amazon, and into the upper reaches of the basin into parts of central Bolivia, and in eastern Peru, the eastern drainage of the Andes mountains. Like the Dark-winged Trumpeter, it is restricted to the southern Amazon Basin. The other member of the Trumpeter group, the Grey-winged Trumpeter is restricted to the northern Basin, and the Guyanas.
Pale-winged Trumpeter's natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
