Little Bustard
Tetrax tetrax
The little bustard (Tetrax tetrax) is a bird in the bustard family, the only member of the genus Tetrax.
Although the smallest Palearctic bustard, the little bustard is still pheasant-sized at 42β45 cm (17β18 in) long with a 90β110 cm (35β43 in) wingspan. In flight, the long wings are extensively white. The breeding male is brown above and white below, with a grey head and a black neck bordered above and below by white.
The female and non-breeding male lack the dramatic neck pattern, and the female is marked darker below than the male. Immature bustards resemble females. Both sexes are usually silent, although the male has a distinctive "raspberry-blowing" call: prrt.
