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.

Painted Buttonquail

Painted Buttonquail (Turnix varius) is the most colorful Australian buttonquail at 17–19 cm. Female: boldly patterned with chestnut shoulders, red eye, and black and grey markings. Inhabits open dry sclerophyll forest and woodland with grassy understory in eastern and south-western Australia. Forages by spinning in leaf litter.
