Talk:Turnicidae
Buttonquail were traditionally placed in the Gruiformes or Galliformes. The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy elevated them to ordinal status as the Turniciformes. Recent molecular genetic studies (Paton et al. 2003, Fain & Houde 2004) indicate that turnicids correctly belong among shorebirds (order Charadriiformes).
