Attagis

These birds are often found chilling in pairs or groups in alpine or rocky habitats. The two species of seedsnipe included in this genus are bulky, short-legged, and a walking piece of art. The patterns and colors of this bird seem like a gifted artist carefully made each stroke to highlight every feather.

The Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe is more cryptic in appearance when compared with the White-bellied Seedsnipe. The name of these birds pretty much reflects their appearance. The short beak perfectly complements this medium-sized grouselike figure making it look outstanding.
