100 BANGS — THE SCALED QUAIL 
Callipepla squamata pallida Brewst. 
Callipepla squamata pallida Brewster, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, VI, 1881, 
p. 72. Rio San Pedro, Arizona. 
Range.— Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas, north to southern 
Colorado, and south probably to northern parts of Sonora, Chihuahua and 
Coahuila. : 
Characters.— A very pallid race; the breast and upper back pale dull 
gray; lower back and rump much paler and duller than in C. s. squamata; 
belly cream-buff to buff, not suffused, in either sex, with yellowish brown. 
Remarks.— Vigors’s type locality of ‘Mexico’ of course included 
all three of the races of the scaled quail. His description, however, 
best fits the southern form, and in such a case Brewster had the 
right to choose. 
Callipepla squamata castanogastris Brewst. 
Callipepla squamata castanogastris Brewster, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, VIII, 
1883, p. 34. Rio Grande City, Texas. 
Range.—— Lower Rio Grande valley in Texas, south to northern parts 
of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. 
Characters.— General color dark as in C. s. squamata, but distinguished 
at once from either of the other races by having in the male a chestnut 
patch in middle of belly and usually an indication of it in the female.
