Chlamydotis (Houbara and MacQueen's bustards)

Wikipedia Abstract

Chlamydotis is a genus of large birds in the bustard family. The genus name is from Ancient Greek khlamus, a horseman’s cloak with weights sewn into the corners, and otis, bustard. Members of this genus show very little sexual dimorphism in their plumage. The clade consisting of two species, formerly considered to be conspecific forms a sister group within the clade that includes the genus Otis. \n* Houbara bustard, Chlamydotis undulata \n* C. u. undulata in north Africa \n* C. u. fuertaventurae in the Canary Islands \n* MacQueen's bustard, Chlamydotis macqueenii of Asia
