This Quail is remarkable for its dark coloration, black head, neck, and chest, 
against which the white throat stands out in bold relief, but the amount of white on 
the throat varies considerably, sometimes reaching up to the chin, but in other 
specimens the chin and sides of the throat are black. ‘The half-concealed white spots 
on the black breast also vary considerably in extent, these being scarcely visible in 
some examples, while in others they are very broad and numerous, ‘There is likewise 
a considerable difference in the colour of the sides of the body and flanks, which are 
orange, freckled with black spots and vermiculations: in the type these parts are very 
dark rufescent brown, with very slight blackish vermiculations. This variation in 
colour and markings is not due to locality, but may depend upon the age of the 
bird.
