HARLEQUIN QUAIL RAIN QUAIL 



(Coturnix delegorguei) (Coturnix coromandelica) 



The markings on the throats of these quails are of the type usually put down 



as "recognition marks," but as the Harlequin Quail is African and the 



Rain Quail Indian, the two species cannot possibly interbreed. The pattern, 



then, can have no " recognition" significance.
