DescriptionIt is a fairly large species, at up to {{convert|89|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length.[2] The males weigh {{convert|4|-|8|kg|lb|abbr=on}} and the much smaller females weigh {{convert|2.6|-|3|kg|lb|abbr=on}}.[3] Other than size, sexes differ considerably in appearance. The striking male has a large back marking over the crown down the face to the chin with a bluish-grey neck. On the male, a chestnut band on the lower chest which is separated from the white belly by a thin black band. The female is much more of a subdued brownish color overall, with no bold black markings and has a face lined with faint slate-gray markings. In flight, the species reveals a white primary wedge on the otherwise dark upperwing, a feature obscured when the species is standing.[2] The Heuglin's bustard is found in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia. It occurs in pairs or small groups in arid or semi-arid grasslands, even ranging into desert-edge.[2] References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22691920 |title=Neotis heuglinii |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} {{Otididae}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q1273206}}{{DEFAULTSORT:bustard, Heuglin's}}{{bird-stub}}2. ^1 2 Field Guide to the Birds of East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi by Stevenson & Fanshawe.
