Ordnung: Charadriiformes

Buttonquail or hemipodes are members of a small family of ground birds, Turnicidae, in the order Charadriiformes. Despite their name and resemblance, they bear absolutely no taxonomic relationship to Old World quail of the tribe Coturnicini under the order Galliformes, especially smaller species like the king quail (erroneously called "button quail"). There are 18 species in two genera, with most species placed in the genus Turnix and a single species in the genus Ortyxelos.
