Observation details
HC. Tricky to ID this time. Only called once. Some audio recorded. In the field it sounded closer to Painted Buttonquail than to Red-backed Buttonquail, but from where I was positioned, to where I had heard PBQ on an earlier visit, it would have been circa 100 to 150m to the PBQ habitat - and in between me and that spot was the prime habitat where I had heard RBBQ many times on previous visits. Playing back audio later, the pitch seems midway between the two species and although there seems to be a bit of an uptick at the end of each vocalisation, it is not as pronounced as prior observations of RBBQ. Sharing audio to buttonquail group online, I received feedback it sounds like PBQ, so listing as that. Audio attached.
