The Red-winged Francolin (Scleroptila levaillantii) has three subspecies.
The red-winged ringnecked partridge is a land bird and is a timid and extremely cautious bird. Despite prowling for food at certain times of the day, they are rarely observed and are only known to be active from their calls. They usually live in pairs or clusters and can be as large as 10-12 individuals. It flies fast when confronted with danger, but generally runs around in panic, preferring to run full speed into vegetation and shrubs to hide, even hiding in some mammal burrows to avoid predators. It feeds on weeds, roots, seeds, young leaves and crops, as well as insects and invertebrates.
The red-winged Partridge is monogamous, and given the large size of the range, the timing of the breeding season varies by species and region, generally during the dry season following the rainy season. The nest is built on the ground hidden in dense grass. Plane a simple depression. Each clutch lays 3-8 eggs, which are pale pink or yellowish-brown, sometimes with small brown spots.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
