Indian Courser

This courser is widespread in South Asia and overlaps with some other species such as the similar looking Cream-coloured Courser. This species is however brighter coloured than the Cream-coloured Courser and has a broader black eye-stripe that begins at the base of the beak. The crown is chestnut and the breast is rufous. The nape has a dark black patch where the long longer feathers forming the white stripe meet.

The Indian Courser is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Indian Courser, Cursorius coromandelicus, was once a characteristic bird of dry plains and fallow in much of India. In recent years it has become inexplicably scarce and it is indeed a red-letter day if you find them. Their prefered habitat is still widely available but it is probably only in parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat that they are still tolerably common. More
