Barbary Partridge, Alectoris barbara, is a resident breeder in North Africa and belongs to the pheasant family within Galliformes. It is a gamebird of dry, open country, often on hilly ground. A key feature is its head and neck pattern, which sets it apart from the red-legged partridge. It also has a broad reddish-brown gorget, rufous-streaked white flanks and red legs. The species was described by Bonnaterre in 1790. It is the national bird of Gibraltar and appears on the local 1 pence coin.
