This audio isn't rain quail. For that species that frequently calls atop bunds (where I heard this call), I would have flushed it out of the grasses if it were present. However, despite the calls being emitted right where I stood, no quail were observed emerging from the grasses, a bushlark was flushed instead; IDed to be this species. The call frequency here is also rather aberrant compared to actual rain quail calls—little possible evidence of rain quail presence observed in the immediate surroundings.
Behaketaren xehetasunak
Went back to their usual area to observe more of their behaviour, and it did not disappoint! A couple more birds heard and seen this time around, and finally noticed them displaying! Absolute mimicry artists, perfectly uttering calls of various other species such as rain quail, rock bush quail, jungle prinia, and even (what I assume to be) river tern and white-naped tit! Display behaviour as expected was rather different; with longer, lower and less hovering flights than Indian. A rather communal species (conservative count here) and numbers hopefully increase with the coming monsoon. For more information refer to https://ebird.org/checklist/S247272777
