Given the remarkable similarity of the button quails (bustard 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 to Chinese ornithologists as 三趾鶉 sān-zhǐ-chún 'three-toed quails'. An alternative name is 水鵪鶉 shuǐ ānchun 'water quail'.
