General names

Given the remarkable similarity of the bustard quails/button quails to the true quails, it is not surprising that both types of bird are customarily called by the same name. The button quails are known as ミフウズラ mi-fu uzura ('three-striped quails'), written 三斑鶉 in Chinese characters. Only one species occurs in the far south of Japan.
