 Bush-Quail differs from the male of 

 that species. She resembles the female 

 Painted Bush-Quail very closely in-

 except by actual comparison with each 

 other. The female Blewitt's Bush- 

 Quail has, however, the lower plumage

 breast, these, in most cases, extending 

 across the breast. The size is also 

 smaller.
