Francolinus pondicerianus
It is found in the plains and drier parts of South Asia. They are found in open cultivated lands as well as scrub forest and their local name of teetar is based on their calls, a loud and repeated Ka-tee-tar...tee-tar which is produced by one or more birds. The term teetar can also refer to other partridges and quails. They are hunted in much of their range using low nets and easily caught using calling decoy birds
Grassy lands, avoids very dense forests.
