Colinus cristatus (crested bobwhite)
This Spot-bellied Bobwhite (Colinus leucopogon) was recorded in a vacant field across from the Hampton Inn parking lot in Alahuela (Costa Rica), 6/17/99. He was sitting in the top of a small shrub right in the middle of the traffic & hubbub of the city! This species is sometimes lumped with Colinus cristatus.
