Arborophila gingica

The white-necklaced partridge, also known as the collared partridge or Rickett's hill-partridge, is 25–30cm long and weighs about 253g. The adult's forehead is white in the nominate subspecies, with a long supercilium, a black gorget and a white band above the chestnut upper chest. The underparts are dark grey, whitish on the belly, and the nape and back are reddish-brown with black spots (Wikipedia, general species account).

It lives in forest, bamboo and scrub at 150–1,900m and breeds from April to May, laying five to seven eggs. It keeps to the undergrowth by day and roosts in trees, eating seeds, berries and insects. The territorial call is a repeated plaintive whistle, given mostly in the early morning and evening (Wikipedia, general species account).
