The Singing Quail, scientifically known as Dactylortyx thoracicus, is a medium-sized, ground-dwelling bird found in dense undergrowth. It is most famous for its remarkably loud, complex, and varied calls, often described as flute-like.
Where to spot
Found in Central America, from Mexico south to Honduras, primarily inhabiting humid evergreen and pine-oak forests, often in montane regions.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, flute-like song, which is often the easiest way to locate it. Patience is key, as they are very shy and rarely seen out in the open; remain still and quiet.
When to spot
Best observed at dawn or dusk when they are most vocal, although they can be active throughout the day, particularly on overcast days.

Its complex song can be heard from a significant distance through dense forest, often being the only sign of its presence.
