Taxonomic note
Previously (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) placed in the genus Peliperdix and before that in the genus Francolinus but the analyses of Kimball et al. (2021) showed that as prescribed Peliperdix is not monophyletic so now moved to the current genus. Previously considered a subspecies of C. coqui. Proposed subspecies confusus (Cameroon) considered invalid. Monotypic.
