Description


The Elliot's Pheasant, Syrmaticus Ellioti also known as Bar-backed Pheasant is a large, up to 80cm long, brown and white pheasant with a black throat, chestnut brown upperparts plumage, white belly, nape and wingbars, red bare facial skin and long rusty-barred whitish tail. The female is a rufous brown bird with blackish throat, whitish belly and white-tipped tail. The chestnut brown feathers really do sparkle when in the sunlight.. The Elliot's Pheasant is endemic to China, where it lives in evergreen and mountain forests of southeastern China, at altitudes up to 6,200 feet. The diet consists mainly of seeds, leaves and berries. The name commemorates the American ornithologist Daniel Giraud Elliot. (1835 - 1915) He was also a very talented artist whose superbly detailed images I have long found as an inspiration Due to ongoing habitat lost, limited range and being hunted for food, the Elliot's Pheasant is evaluated as Vulnerable Thanks as always for the time to look and if you care to comment etc Thanks again..
