Habitat Comparison
Song & Call Comparison
Bearded Wood-partridge
Emits a loud, resonant hooting call similar to other Dendrortyx wood-partridges. The owl-like hooting carries through cloud forest; calls are poorly differentiated from Long-tailed.
Spotted Wood-quail
Resonant, slightly buzzy 'kwuh-WEE-kwuh' antiphonal duet; buzzy quality distinguishes it from congeners. Dawn chorus is particularly loud; alarm is rapid harsh 'kek-kek' rattling.
Geographic Range & Migration
Bearded Wood-partridge
Endemic to cloud forest in the Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico, and adjacent Veracruz at 1,500-2,500 m. Rarely observed.
Spotted Wood-quail
Resident from Mexico south through Central America. Found in humid lowland and foothill forest.

About These Birds
Bearded Wood-partridge
A medium-sized New World quail (~405 g) of family Odontophoridae, with a distinct facial streak resembling a beard. Endemic to cloud forest in a restricted area of the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. Forages on the ground for seeds and invertebrates. Vulnerable; critically restricted range in highly fragmented Mexican highland forests, with ongoing habitat loss from agricultural expansion.
Spotted Wood-quail
A medium-sized New World quail (~300 g) of family Odontophoridae, with bold white spotting on rufous-brown plumage. Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests from Mexico (Chiapas) through Central America to Colombia and Venezuela. Forages in pairs on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Least Concern; widespread in Middle American forests.
