Japanese Quail

Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica, 鹌鹑).

The snow by river brought out another rare species: a very shy Japanese quail spent most of its time hidden from view behind mud and snow banks, and it took considerable patience and tolerance for the cold for it to forage openly enough to take a picture.
