Red-billed Spurfowl
The most common of the Spurfowl in this area, so named for the spurs on the rear of their legs used in combat. This is an adult male. Females are similar but have only a rudimentary spur. Immatures are duller with a dull red bill. The combination of broad yellow eyering and reddish bill and feet help distinguish it. Sometimes called Red-billed Francolin and formerly included in the genera "Francolinus" or "Notocolinus."
