Elliot's Pheasant

Elliot's pheasant (Syrmaticus ellioti), is a large pheasant native to
south-eastern China. Males are up to 80 cm (31 in) long; they are brown and
white with a black throat, chestnut-brown upper parts, white belly, nape and
wing bars, red bare facial skin and long rusty-barred whitish tail. Females
are smaller, at 50 cm (20 in) long; they are rufous brown with a blackish
throat, whitish belly and less barred tail. Elliot's pheasant is endemic to
south-eastern China (Guizhou, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan,
Guangxi and Guangdong provinces), where it lives in evergreen and mountain
forests at altitudes of 200–1,900 m (660–6,230 ft). Its diet consists mainly
of seeds, leaves and berries. Elliot's pheasant was first described in 1872 by
Robert Swinhoe, under the name "Phasianus ellioti"; the type material was from
