Família
Buttonquail or hemipodes are members of a small family of ground birds, Turnicidae, in the order Charadriiformes. Despite their name and resemblance, they bear absolutely no taxonomic relationship to Old World quail of the tribe Coturnicini under the order Galliformes, especially smaller species like the king quail (erroneously called "button quail"). There are 18 species in two genera, with most species placed in the genus Turnix and a single species in the genus Ortyxelos.
Ordem
Charadriiformes (, from Charadrius, the type genus of family Charadriidae) is a diverse order of small to medium-large birds. It includes about 390 species and has members in all parts of the world. Most charadriiform birds live near water and eat invertebrates or other small animals; however, some are pelagic (seabirds), others frequent deserts, and a few are found in dense forest.
