Odontophorus strophium (Gorgeted Wood Quail)

Wikipedia Abstract

The rare gorgeted wood quail, Odontophorus strophium, is a small ground-dwelling bird. This tiny member of the New World quail family has been found in the larger oak forest remnants in the eastern Cordillera (Serrania de Yariguies and NorAndino Oak Forest Corridor) section of Colombia. It forages for fruit, seeds and arthropods. The bird's breeding season seems to coincide with peaks in annual rainfall in March–May and September–November.
