Scope and Contents
Usually found in pairs or small groups on short grass plains feeding on seeds but gathers in flocks to fly to water holes mid-morning. The male, pictured above is quite distinctive but the female can be mistaken for the female Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse but lacks the broad pale area on the breast. Usually nests in the dry season in a small scrape or hollow in the ground. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for American Broadcasting Company and traveled to Africa from June 1966 to early August 1966.
