Chestnut-naped Francolin (Pternistis castaneicollis) has three subspecies.
The chestnut pillow-colored partridge primarily calls early in the morning and late in the evening, especially in males, in a loud "kawar-kawar" and "kek kek kek" sound, thought to be a duet between partners. It feeds on plant bulbs and bulbs, seeds, berries and shoots, as well as small mollusks, termites, ants and other insects. When in danger, he prefers running to escape danger rather than flying. The breeding season is October-March in Ethiopia and late May (wet season) and late December (dry season) in Somalia.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
