The White-faced Quail is a distinctive and often elusive quail species found in the montane forests of Central America. It is recognized by its prominent facial markings.

Where to spot

This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests, typically at high elevations, ranging from southern Mexico through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and northern Nicaragua.

How to spot

White-faced Quails are notoriously shy and spend most of their time in dense undergrowth. Listen intently for their unique vocalizations, which are often the primary means of detection. Patience and quiet observation are essential.

When to spot

Active throughout the day, but observation is often most productive during the early morning and late afternoon when they are foraging and vocalizing. They are resident year-round.
