Another 2 birds you can see in Penang birdpark.
Supposedly quite common in Penang Island in open grassland and shrubland of
abandoned housing schemes but this soon will change. I got a hunch its migrate
down from jungle during the wet season to breed and forage in the grassland. As
ground birds they seldom fly except when flushed.
It is uncommon bird found in Malaysia in dry and semi marshy grassland or scrubland. Very small about 6 inches in size The male have a blue coated breast and face. Female a bit dull to camouflage itseft in its habitat.

Zog mentioned :-
"The Blue-breasted Quail which was supposingly common is likely no longer
so common, I have not heard of records from Penang and Perak for the recent years,
eventually I have no idea where to find the quail nowadays.From your pic, the leftmost bird on the first photo and second photo shows a Barred Buttonquail, this unrelated but similar looking bird is still very common and widespread across the country. Notice the pale greyish leg and general pattern. The blackish throat indicates either an immature female or moulting effects."
