Least Concern

The Snow Mountain Quail is a ground-dwelling gamebird of sub-Saharan African forests, savannas, and montane habitats. It walks, scratches, and dust-bathes through cover for seeds, shoots, berries, insects, and other small food. Many rely on camouflage, short explosive flight, and seasonal displays by males.
