White-throated francolin

The white-throated francolin is‌ a species of bird in the family Phasianidae.
It is found in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, and Zambia. These birds are found in tropical and sub-tropical grasslands, savannas, burned lands and shrublands. They feed on seeds and insects.
The white-throated francolin weighs approximately 14–15 g at birth and reaches around 275 g as an adult.
Formerly classified in the genus Peliperdix, a 2020 study placed it together with the coqui francolin, and Schlegel's francolin in a new genus Campocolinus. The International Ornithological Congress has accepted these findings.
