Macqueen's Bustard (Chlamydotis macqueenii).
The species was once nearly hunted to near-extinction in the Middle East by Arab falconers, hunters and poachers. It was considered great sport in colonial India, especially to hunt tiloor (the local name) from camel back.
This species do not drink water and obtain all the moisture they need from their diet.
They are omnivorous taking seeds, berries, insects and other invertebrates.
