The stone partridge (''Ptilopachus petrosus'') is a bird of the pheasant family. This largely brown bird, which commonly holds its tail raised, is found in scrubland and lightly wooded habitats, often near rocks, from Kenya and Ethiopia to Gambia (a large part if its range is in the Sudanian Savanna). As traditionally defined, it is the only member of ''Ptilopachus'', but based on genetic evidence this genus also includes the Nahan's "francolin".〔Crowe, T.

(Abstract).〕〔Gill, F, & Donsker, D. eds. (2010). ''(IOC World Bird Names ).'' Version 2.7. Accessed 15 January 2011.〕 ==English name== There is some confusion in the naming of this species because the name of this bird in many languages translates literally into English as "rock partridge". For instance, in Dutch the species is rotspatrijs, in German - Felsenhenne, in French - poulette de roche - all literal translations of "rock partridge". The bird known as rock partridge in English is actually a member of another genus, the ''Alectoris graeca''. The confusion is further compounded as in some languages ''Alectoris'' species are known by names that literally translate as stone partridge. In Dutch, steenpatrijs, in German Steinhuhn; red-legged partridge (''A. rufa'') being rode steenpatrijs in Dutch. Further complication arises as, particularly within the USA, the name "rock partridge" has been used for a variety of ''Alectoris'' species and hybrids. The international bird trade, for sport, aviaries and meat, has led to misapplication of various of these common and scientific names. ''Alectoris'' and ''Ptilopachus'' species are actually very different in size and habits, ''Ptilopachus'' being only 20–25 cm long.
