Coqui Francolin

Product Description

Coqui francolin

The male is easily distinguished from other francolins by the plane reddish-brown head contrasting with the barred underparts. The female can be distinguished from other francolins (Shelley’s francolin in particular) by the white eye stripe and lack of chestnut stripes on breast and flanks.

The Coqui francolin is arguably the smallest francolins in southern Africa, averaging 260 g and 240 g in weight for male and female respectively. The only other francolin species that can compete with it in terms of low weight is Hartlaub’s francolin, which averages 270 g and 230 g for male and female respectively.
