HARLEQUIN QUAIL RAIN QUAIL 
(Coturnix delegorguer) (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.
