		The buttonquails or hemipodes are a small family of birds which resemble, but are unrelated to, the true quails.
		Buttonquail were traditionally placed in Gruiformes or Phasianidae (the crane and pheasant orders).
		The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy elevated them to ordinal status as the Turniciformes and basal to other Neoaves either because their accelerated rate of molecular evolution exceeded the limits of sensitivity of DNA-DNA hybridization or because the authors did not perform the appropriate pairwise comparisons or both.

	phorum - MalayBirders - [birders] Small Buttonquail near Kulim
		Just to report that on 23.7.06 a group of us from Perak went looking for the Small Buttonquail first seen by Dave Bakewell on 10.7.06.
		In the morning, we were successful in locating at least 2 birds separately, with possibly 3 birds in total in the area.
		Dennis Yong was with them and I believe the Small Buttonquail is species no. 495 for his Big Bird Year.

	Species info - HTML
		Distribution The Luzon Buttonquail (see Remarks 1) is endemic to Luzon in the Philippines, where records have been mainly or entirely derived from bird-catchers taking within-island migrants, so that the true range and indeed habitat of the species remain obscure; the guess by Dickinson et al.
		Although grassland areas may be increasing in Luzon it cannot be assumed that this is in any way beneficial to this buttonquail, which may prove to have specific ecological requirements not met by the creation of pastures or cropland through forest clearance.
		It seems inconceivable that five forms of buttonquail should have evolved on Luzon in the absence of original areas of grassland, given that four of them are known grassland dwellers.

		Buttonquail borders Kogelberg and acts as a buffer zone between the commercial farms and the wilderness beyond.
		Buttonquail has solar power, though during the winter months this is in scarce supply, so there are plenty of candles and gas lamps to guide you back to the cosy confines of your tent at night.
		Buttonquail provides easy access to the heart of the Kogelberg Reserve, but even if it did not, the camp has its own allure, and it offers a real opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of Cape Town, without a lengthy drive.

	Birding In Taiwan - Barred Buttonquail
		Females have a flish crown with gray and white mottling, a fl chin and throat, fl barring on the upper breast, and rufous flanks, belly and undertail.
		The nest is a pad of grass in a depression on the ground, often in a grass clump with the strands of grass pulled over to form a dome with a side entrance.
		Buttonquails have reversed sex roles: the females are larger and more brightly patterned and the male incubates the eggs and raises the chicks alone

	Buttonquail
		The area is characterized by small gulleys, dips and hollows, caused by weathering, and often the buttonquails seemed to be located in an area that was slightly sheltered by the contours of the land.
		Barred Buttonquail is a slightly larger species, and tends to walk with a more horizontal stance.
		At this early stage, it is difficult to assess how widespread or localized Small Buttonquail is in the area.

		As a result of habitat degradation, this elusive grassland specialist qualifies as Vulnerable on the grounds that its small range (where it is known from few locations) and single population are likely to be declining.
		These birds were in some way associating with Red-backed Buttonquail Turnix maculosa and Blue-breasted Quail Coturnix chinensis (Sutter 1955), and presumably resource partitioning in these species is related to bill morphology: the heavy bill of the Sumba Buttonquail would be used for larger seeds.
		The Sumba Buttonquail is one of (now) three threatened members of the suite of seven bird species that are entirely restricted to the "Sumba Endemic Bird Area", threats and conservation measures in which are profiled by Sujatnika et al.

	Plains-Wanderer
		Olson and Steadman (1981), however, studied its anatomy and behavior, and this research, along with the results of DNA-DNA hybridization, showed that it actually is a Charadriiforme (like the phalarope) and that its closest relative may be the South American seedsnipes (Thinocoridae).
		The female Plains-Wanderer (right) has a collar of fl-and-white, and a rusty blotch on the breast (not shown here; this was possibly a young female as her coloration was fairly muted).
		I've already noted the resemblance to buttonquails when the bird is crouching among the light cover on the barren plains it inhabits, but it is a much stranger beast when standing up or running (below).

		While this project has submitted a proposal to gazette a network of seven protected areas on the island, it is unclear to what extent this will benefit this species.
		Conservation measures proposed Conduct further fieldwork to net and identify buttonquails at a wide range of sites across a variety of grassland habitats, in order to estimate population size, distribution and key ecological parameters.

		I went out on the wettest day of the year (seemed like!) yesterday, but all was not lost.
		On some waste ground near the Alamander Housing project near Kulim Hi-Tech Park, I saw and photographed a Small Buttonquail (Turnix sylvatica).
		According to Robson, this species only occurs as far south as central Thailand, but it is known to be nomadic and 'semi-migratory' (Steve Madge & Phil McGowan in "Pheasants, Partridges & Grouse - Including Buttonquails, Sandgrouse & Allies").
