The Spot-bellied bobwhite (Colinus leucopogon), is a species of New World quail in the Odontophoridae family. It is sometimes considered to be conspecific with the crested bobwhite (Colinus cristatus). As the latter species expands north into Costa Rica, it is likely that the two species will overlap in range in the future, but the Costa Rican subspecies of spot-bellied is the least similar to crested. The spot-bellied bobwhite occurs in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
