释义	bobwhite /ˈbɒbwʌɪt / (also bobwhite quail) noun A New World quail with mottled reddish-brown plumage, and typically a pale throat and eyestripe. Genus Colinus, family Phasianidae: two species, in particular the northern bobwhite (C. virginianus). On the hunting fields, 12,000 birds are harvested annually, consisting of pheasants, chukar partridge and bobwhite quail.... Sadly, the 38 bobwhite reported by only 5 observers, plus a covey of 6 seen before the count, confirms the rapid decline of these once abundant Cape birds. The bobwhite is an excellent example of a species on the wane. Origin Early 19th century: imitative of its call.
