Males have an obvious black and white band on the forehead and a narrow black and white chest band. The female is more cryptically coloured, and both sexes have a yellow ring of bare skin surrounding the eye. Double-banded Sandgrouse are found in savanna woodland, particularly Mopane, and mainly eat seeds. These birds were in the edge of the H1-7 road, 3 km south of Boyela Waterhole in Kruger.
