<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="cyrtonyx-tedfordi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Cyrtonyx tedfordi is an extinct quail-like galliform bird from Neogene deposits of the United States. Named in honor of paleontologist Richard Tedford, this herbivorous species was a ground-dwelling seed-eater. Its fossils are closely related to the living Montezuma quail, illuminating the evolutionary history of New World quails.
