==Description==
The stubble quail is a ground dwelling bird that is characterised by its dark brown feathers with a cream coloured strip down the centre of each feather giving rise to stripes down the length of the bird. It is a plump species that is larger than other native quails. Male birds will mature at about 18.0-18.5 cm long and females are generally slightly larger.〔Anonymous. (updated September 1st, 2013). Introduction to property based game management - Stubble Quail. State Government Victoria: Department of environment and primary industries. Retrieved October 12th 2013 from http://www.depi.vic.gov.au/fishing-and-hunting/game-hunting/game-hunting-education/game-management-initiatives/introduction-to-property-based-game-management-stubble-quail.〕 Adult males weigh around 100g and the females around 110g with all birds having a wingspan of between 25–33 cm.〔Marchant, S. & Higgins, P.J. (Eds.). (1993). Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic birds (Vol. 2). Melbourne, Oxford University Press.〕 The stubble quail can also be identified by the loud whirring noise made by their wings during take-off into flight once disturbed from on the ground.
