Description

Classification: Genus Ptilopachus (Ptilopachus); Subfamily Perdicinae (Perdicinae); Family Turkeys (Phasianidae)
General: The stone partridge (Ptilopachus petrosus) is a bird of the New World quail family. This largely brown bird, which commonly holds its tail raised, is found in scrubland and lightly wooded habitats, often near rocks, from Kenya and Ethiopia to Gambia (a large part if its range is in the Sudanian Savanna). As traditionally defined, it is the only member of Ptilopachus, but based on genetic evidence, this genus also includes Nahan's partridge.^[2][3][4] [more]
