Xenoperdix udzungwensis (Udzungwa Forest Partridge)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Udzungwa forest partridge (Xenoperdix udzungwensis) also known as Udzungwa partridge is a small, approximately 29 centimetres (11 in) long, boldly barred, brownish partridge with rufous face, grey underparts, olive-brown crown and upperparts. It has a red bill, brown iris and yellow legs. Both sexes are similar. Due to ongoing habitat loss, small population size, limited range and overhunting in some areas, the Udzungwa forest partridge is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
