Natal francolin

Product Description

Natal francolin

Within its range it is the only spurfowl without bare skin around the eyes and on the throat. The Cape spurfowl also lacks these features but the ranges don’t overlap and in addition it has a scaly-patterned lower breast without the streaks found in Cape spurfowl.

Plumage of male and female is similar. The male is heavier (average weight c 500 g versus c 390 g in female) and has much longer leg spurs than the female.
