The striped owl (Asio clamator) is a medium-sized owl with large ear tufts and a brownish-white facial disk rimmed with black.
 Its beak is black, and it has cinnamon-colored eyes.
It has shorter, rounder wings than most of its close relatives.
The upperparts are cinnamon with fine black vermiculation and heavy stripes.
The underparts are pale tawny with dusky streaks.
It is native to South America and parts of Central America.

It has been placed in the genus Pseudoscops together with the Jamaican owl, or more rarely into its own monotypic genus Rhinoptynx, but molecular evidence indicates that it is a true Asio.
