Probably impossible to tell from these pictures (images 2 and 3 are details from 1), but I wondered if these could be buttonquail. One ran across the track ahead of me and disappeared, and when I walked on, three others flew up from the area it had come from. I only got a glimpse and was surprised that my one photo caught this much.
