Western Tragopan Tragopan melanocephalus

A large, short-tailed pheasant. Male appears mostly dark with prominent white dots all over. Note the bright orange patch on the breast, the red hindneck, the reddish face bordered by a black crown and ears, and the blue throat. The female is brownish-gray with paler underparts, and is finely streaked with white. Inhabits undisturbed montane forests with dense undergrowth. Feeds on the ground, but is known to roost in trees. Call is a short, nasal wail.
