Observation details

In the afternoon, during a pre-dinner stroll, we flushed a pair of small buttonquail with relatively plain wing coverts. I was ~80% sure they were red-chested, but wanted to make sure before submitting a checklist. We went back at night to get a closer look, and it only took a few minutes before we found another and confirmed its ID.
