Callan Cohen, 2011. The phylogenetics, taxonomy and biogeography of African arid zone terrestrial birds : the bustards (Otididae), sandgrouse (Pteroclidae), coursers (Glareolidae) and Stone Partridge (Ptilopachus). Thesis, University of Cape Town.

Interestingly, the bustard phylogeny here is quite traditional, contradicting the recent results by Horreo et al. 2014 (see [here]).
It's great to see a hypothesis for sandgrouse, too. |=)|
