AI overview
Buttonquails, also called hemipodes, are small ground birds belonging to the family Turnicidae that are often mistaken for true quail due to their similar appearance. Despite their misleading common name, they are not actually related to Old World quail and belong to a different taxonomic order, making them a distinctly separate group of birds that scientists classify quite differently from what the name suggests.
