Coturnicops is a genus of bird in the rail family.
The genus was erected by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855 with the yellow rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) as the type species.
[2] The genus name combines coturnix, the Latin word for a "quail", with ōps, an Ancient Greek word meaning "appearance".
