It is a plump stub-tailed greyish brown game bird with chestnut blotching
above and fine wavy black and buff vermiculations, and chestnut tail. Both
sexes are alike, but the cock has a pointed supur on each leg. It is found in
pairs or coveys, in dry scrub country and cultivation. It is found in dry,
open grass and thorn-scrub countries. Coveys scratch the ground or cattle dung
for food, grain, seeds, termites, beetle larvae, etc. It is largely
terrestial, but roosts in babul and similar trees. Its call consists of a
ringing, high-pitched, musical notes which are quickly repeated. It nests
practically all year, varying locally.
