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