The Abrolhos painted buttonquail (''Turnix varius scintillans'') is a subspecies of the painted buttonquail endemic to the Houtman Abrolhos. It is common on North Island, and also occurs on other islands of the Wallabi Group, namely East Wallabi, West Wallabi, Seagull and Pigeon Islands. ==Ecology== The first recorded sighting of the bird by Europeans was during the third voyage of HMS ''Beagle''. On 22 May 1840, the crew of the ship landed at North Island, which John Lort Stokes described thus: Five years later, the subspecies was formally published by John Gould. The subspecies is listed as "vulnerable" under the federal EPBC Act, and as "fauna which is rare, or likely to become extinct" under Western Australia's ''Wildlife Conservation Act 1950''. Islands where it breeds are considered to have a high conservation value. Rats and cats have been introduced to the ecosystem which may pose a threat to the population.
