The Nahan's partridge〔 (''Ptilopachus nahani''), also known as the Nahan's francolin, is a bird traditionally placed in the Phasianidae family. As suggested by its alternative name, it was formerly believed to be a francolin and placed either in ''Francolinus'' or ''Pternistis'', but it is now known that its closest relative is the stone partridge and together may in fact be the only African representatives of the New World quails (Odontophoridae).〔Crowe, T.

(Abstract).〕 At about in length, the Nahan's partridge is a relatively small, terrestrial bird with a red eye-ring, legs and base of the bill, brownish upperparts, and black-and-white underparts and head.〔 This endangered species is found in rainforest in northeastern DR Congo and western Uganda,〔McGowan, P.
