About half the size of Partridge with brownish plumage, bluish grey supercilium and breast sides. Flanks barred in white, back heavily streaked. Rufous wings obvious in flight. Seldom seen due to secretive behaviour, but song very noticeable.
Characteristic song can be heard at night. A rasping, hoarse "crex-crex" repeated about every second for long periods of time.
