The Baja Pygmy-owl or Cape Pygmy-owl (Glaucidium hoskinsii) is a small owl restricted to the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Some authorities do not consider it a separate species.This bird resembles the Mountain Pygmy-owl. It is 15 to 16.5 cm or 17 cm (6 to 7 inches) long and weighs 50 to 65 grams. Its plumage is sandy gray-brown, with females typically more reddish than males. Unlike many related owls, it does not seem to have gray and red morphs. The adult's crown and back have many pale spots, which are biggest on the scapular feathers (where the wings join the back). The tail is long for an owl and is crossed by five or six pale bars. The underparts are off-white with brown streaks. The face shows little contrast except for white "false eyebrows". Like other pygmy-owls (Glaucidium), it has yellow irises and a yellow bill, as well as two white-outlined black triangles on the back on the neck that suggest eyespots.
