Rüppell's Korhaan is a bustard of stony semi-desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola. Males have a gray-blue head with black bands, while females are less strongly marked and duller overall.
The male has a gray-blue head and neck marked with black lines, including a black band from the throat to the upper chest. The female's head is less contrasting, and her throat band is narrower.
It searches on the ground for insects, leaves, and seeds. It is usually seen in small groups and may run away when disturbed.
At dawn and dusk it gives low, frog-like calls. In a duet the male starts and the female answers.
It scratches a shallow ground nest beside a shrub.
Juveniles resemble females. The legs and three toes are yellowish, and plumage colors become stronger in the breeding season.
