Spotted
The Coqui Francolin is a small, compact francolin species native to Africa, notably identified by its distinctive and oft-repeated 'coqui' call. Males and females exhibit differing plumage patterns.
Where to spot
Widespread across Sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting open woodlands, savannas, grasslands, and cultivated areas with some ground cover.
How to spot
Listen carefully for their characteristic 'co-qui-qui' call, which is the best way to locate them. They are ground-dwelling and often secretive, so patience and slow movement through their habitat are recommended. Binoculars can help spot them in grassy areas.
When to spot
Most vocal and active at dawn and dusk. They can be found foraging during the day but are more secretive outside of peak activity times.

The Coqui Francolin gets its common name directly from its characteristic three-note call, 'co-qui-qui,' which is frequently uttered, especially by males, and serves as a key auditory identifier for the species.
