The red-necked falcon (Falco chicquera) has a bright rufous crown and nape. Found in semi-desert and dry open country areas with a few trees, the red-necked falcon usually hunts in pairs, often at dawn and dusk, sometimes utilising a technique in which one of the pair flies low and flushes up small birds while the other follows higher up and seizes the prey as it flushes from cover. It is found in south Asia and throughout most of sub-Saharan Africa.
