Moorland francolin
The moorland francolin (Scleroptila psilolaema) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae.
It is endemic to the Ethiopian montane moorlands.
The Elgon francolin of the highlands of Kenya and Uganda was formerly considered a subspecies of S. psilolaema, but was split as a distinct species by the IUCN Red List and BirdLife International in 2014, and by the International Ornithological Congress in 2022 based on a 2019 study. Compared to the moorland francolin, the Elgon francolin is brighter (more rufescent) and lacks black spots to the throat, and also differs in vocalizations.
