Wikipedia
bustard quail
Buttonquail or hemipodes are members of a small family of birds, Turnicidae, which resemble, but are unrelated to, the quails of Phasianidae. They inhabit warm grasslands in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. There are 18 species in two genera, with most species placed in the genus Turnix and a single species in the genus Ortyxelos. Buttonquails are small, drab, running birds, which avoid flying. The female is the more richly colored of the sexes. While the quail-plover is thought to be monogamous, Turnix buttonquails are sequentially polyandrous; both sexes cooperate in building a nest in the earth, but normally only the male incubates the eggs and tends the young, while the female may go on to mate with other males.

bustard quail
The term "bustard quail", often referred to as "Buttonquail", doesn't refer to a specific species but is rather a common name used to refer to birds that belong to the Turnicidae family. These small birds resemble both the bustards and true quails in appearance and habits, hence the name. A key characteristic is they are ground-dwelling birds, but unlike most bustards and quails, buttonquails are mostly distributed in the Old World, particularly Africa and Australasia.
