About These Birds
Hill Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~340 g) of family Phasianidae, with intricate rufous, black, and white patterning and an orange-rufous head. Inhabits subtropical and montane broadleaved forests and bamboo thickets in the Himalayas from Pakistan to southwestern China. Forages on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Least Concern; common in Himalayan foothills.
Dulit Partridge
A poorly known Phasianidae partridge (~748 g) restricted to montane forests of central Borneo, including the Dulit Range. Very few specimens have been collected; biology largely undescribed. Forages on forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Data Deficient due to extreme scarcity of records.
