Little Brown Bustard
El sisón del Cuerno de África es un pequeño sisón (42-48 cm) del Cuerno de África, desde Etiopía hasta Somalia. Tiene plumaje pardo arenoso con manchas. Habita en pastizales áridos y semiáridos. Como otros sisones, el macho realiza vistosas exhibiciones de cortejo. Se alimenta de insectos y materia vegetal. Especie poco conocida debido a la inaccesibilidad de gran parte de su rango en el Cuerno de África. Posiblemente amenazada por el pastoreo excesivo.
