Closely related to Chukar but notably larger. Feeds on seeds, leaves, and invertebrates. Tolerates cold winters; forms winter coveys. Least Concern.

Bornean Peacock-Pheasant

One of the rarest Phasianidae pheasants (~512 g), endemic to lowland primary forests of Borneo. Males have brown plumage densely patterned with iridescent blue-green ocelli. Rarely observed; forages on seeds and invertebrates. Endangered due to rapid destruction of Bornean lowland forest; few confirmed recent records.
