Golden Pheasant

Chrysolophus pictus

Golden Pheasant adult males combine scarlet underparts, a green upper back, a golden-yellow lower back and rump, and dark wings with blue panels. The breast is unmarked, while the elongated, pointed tail feathers carry dense, irregular dark markings on a cinnamon-brown ground. A distinctive orange neck cape, crossed by bold black bars, can be spread into a broad fan around the head during display.
