Mountain quail / Bergwachtel (Oreortyx pictus)

Wikipedia: Mountain quail Source: OTHER Oreortyx_pictus.jpg
Classification: Genus Oreortyx; Family American quails (Odontophoridae)
General: The mountain quail (Oreortyx pictus) is a small ground-dwelling bird in the New World quail family. This species is the only one in the genus Oreortyx, which is sometimes included in Callipepla. This is not appropriate, however, as the mountain quail's ancestors have diverged from other New World quails earlier than the bobwhites, no later than 6 mya.^[2] [more]
