Mrs. Hume’s pheasant

Mrs. Hume’s pheasant
Syrmaticus humiae, Hume, 1881

It inhabits open, dry forests (mainly oak and pine) as well as mountain areas covered with thickets and grassy clearings up to an altitude of 3000 m above sea level. Like many other pheasant species in East Asia, Hume’s pheasant population is decreasing as a result of habitat loss caused by the intensification of agriculture. Frequent hunting by mountain tribes that inhabit the same area is also a threat.
