Woops, meant to say female Little Button-quail. Trying to do too many things at once! I was dealing with another email on Button-quail (it mentioned Red-chested Button-quail) when Lindsay’s photograph came through.

I took this pic three years ago at Ormiston Gorge, west of Alice Springs, and labeled it a Little Button-quail. But on reflection I am not sure that it is not a Red-chested Button-quail. Can anyone help please.
