The Great Roadrunner Geococcyx californianus (illustration), which is about 60 cm long, is found from the southwestern United States to Mexico, while the Lesser Roadrunner G. velox , which is about 50 cm long, is found from southern Mexico to Central America. Both species have gray-brown plumage with white and black spots on the upper side and white bellies. *Some of the terminology that refers to the "Greater Roadrunner" is listed below.
