Quail-plover

Ortyxelos meiffrenii

Least Concern

The Quail-plover is a shorebird of South American coasts, grasslands, and wetlands. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
