The Crested Quails have the sexes somewhat different from one another in plumage, 
the crest is well or moderately developed. The first primary-quill is intermediate in 
length between the eighth and ninth. The tail is rather more than half the length of 
the wing and composed of twelve feathers. Seven species are known, four of which 
occur within our limits.

This species is easily recognized by its white face and chin, and the chestnut throat and 
eyebrow. It is a Colombian bird which extends northwards into the State of Panama. 
Nothing has been recorded of its habits; but the eggs, discovered by Salmon at 
Medellin, in Antioquia, are pale whitish-buff, with large tawny blotches, and in some 
specimens freckled with small spots of the same colour.
