Stone Partridge
Ptilopachus petrosus (Gmelin, JF 1789)
The stone partridge 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. As traditionally defined, it is the only member of Ptilopachus, but based on genetic evidence, this genus also includes Nahan's partridge. Source: Wikipedia
