Quail-plover

Quail-plover (Ortyxelos meiffrenii) is a tiny 10–11 cm shorebird-like bird of arid African savannas, sole member of family Turnicidae's outgroup and sometimes placed in Thinocoridae. Extremely cryptic pale sandy plumage with dark streaks; black and white wing pattern in flight.

Spotted Buttonquail (Turnix ocellatus) is a small 14–16 cm buttonquail endemic to the Philippines. Pale buff with dark-spotted upperparts; female has chestnut markings on head. Inhabits open grasslands and cultivated fields on Luzon and other major islands. Secretive; detected mainly by the female's booming call.
