A species of bird, possibly the rail or black grouse, that Pliny says has a gait similar to the partridge

Examples

“Harum volatus in reputationem ceterarum quoque volucrum inpellit. Omnibus animalibus reliquis certus et unius modi et in suo cuique genere incessus est; aves solae vario meatu feruntur et in terra et in aëre. Ambulant aliquae, ut cornices; saliunt aliae, ut passeres, merulae; currunt, ut perdices, rusticulae; ante se pedes iaciunt, ut ciconiae, grues. Expandunt alas pendentesque raro intervallo quatiunt, aliae crebrius, sed et primas dumtaxat pinnas, aliae tota latera plaudunt; quaedam vero maiore ex parte conpressis volant percussoque semel, aliquae et gemino ictu, aëre feruntur: velut inclusum eum prementes eiaculantur sese in sublime, in rectum, in pronum. Impingi putes aliquas aut rursus ab alto cadere has, illas salire.”
