Xenoperdix or "strange partridges", is a genus of partridges that are most closely related to Southeast Asian hill partridges. They have boldly barred plumaged and a red bill. Xenoperdix are found only in forests of Udzungwa Mountains and the Rubeho Highlands of Tanzania. Previously believed to be monotypic, the Rubeho population was recognized as a distinct species following a review of its molecular and morphological characteristics.
