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.
Tawny-faced Quail
Soft, plaintive two-note whistle 'pee-woo' uttered from dense undergrowth; rarely recorded and quiet. Alarm is a barely audible sharp 'pip'; flock contact maintained with muffled clucks.

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.
Tawny-faced Quail
A small New World quail (~140 g) of family Odontophoridae, with tawny-orange facial coloring and cinnamón-barred flanks. Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests from Honduras to Ecuador and Venezuela. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and small invertebrates. Near Threatened; shy and little-studied, dependent on intact forest but experiencing habitat loss throughout its Central and South American range.
