Reeves’s pheasant

Reeves’s pheasant
Syrmaticus reevesii, Gray, 1829

The Reeves’s pheasant inhabits thin mixed and deciduous forests with shrubby undergrowth in highlands and mountains at heights from 300 to 2000 metres above sea level. Like all pheasants, it spends nights in tree crowns, although it is not very capable in flight due to its tail, which is the longest out of all pheasant species in the world,
exceeding even 2 metres.
