The Golden Pheasant is a gamebird also known as the Chinese pheasant or rainbow pheasant. Its species account identifies it as native to the mountain forests of western China, directly supporting both its Chinese occurrence and broad habitat. The scientific name Chrysolophus pictus matches the supplied list. Because the opened account yielded no sufficiently clear species-specific measurements, diet or breeding figures for this entry, those fields have been omitted rather than inferred from other pheasants.
