Arborophila brunneopectus

The bar-backed partridge, also known as the brown-breasted hill-partridge, is typically about 28cm long. The tail is 6–7cm and the bill about 20–21mm. The sexes are similar, mostly buff in colour, with black running from the bill around the eyes to the throat, a black crown and black feather tips along the back (Wikipedia, general species account).

It flocks in groups of about four to nine, usually two parents and their latest offspring or sometimes two families. It feeds on seeds, small shells and insects found in the leaf litter on the forest floor. Captive males attract a mate by exposing the red feathers around the throat and calling (Wikipedia, general species account).
