First recorded in Peninsular Malaysia in 2006, in Kedah, and has subsequently been observed in Perlis, Pulau Pinang, Perak and Selangor, suggesting recent colonisation from populations to the north. No records from Bornean Malaysia. Smaller than Barred Buttonquail, from which best distinguished by pink legs and paler overall colouration.
