Arborophila rufipectus

The Chestnut-necklaced Partridge, also known as the Rufous-throated Partridge, is a medium-sized bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive chestnut neck and rufous plumage, with intricate patterns on its feathers. This species is primarily ground-dwelling and forages for seeds, fruits, and insects on the forest floor. It is often heard making distinctive calls during the early morning and late evening. The Chestnut-necklaced Partridge is facing habitat loss and hunting pressure in some parts of its range, which has led to concerns about its conservation status.
