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.
Gorgeted Wood-quail
Deep, booming 'poo-POO-poo' duet resounding in Colombian cloud forest undergrowth; very low frequency. Contact notes are soft, intermittent clucks between group members.
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.

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.
Gorgeted Wood-quail
A medium-sized New World quail (~300 g) of family Odontophoridae, with an ornate patterned gorget on the throat. Endemic to the eastern Andes of Colombia in a restricted area of Cundinamarca and Boyacá departments. Inhabits humid montane forests at 1,700–2,700 m elevation. Vulnerable; extremely small range, heavily deforested habitat, and poorly known population size.
