Lady Amherst's Pheasant, in the adult male, combines metallic green, black, and white plumage with red and yellow accents and an exceptionally long tail. The upper back and breast are glossy green, the belly is white, and the silvery-white tail feathers carry repeated black bars. A broad neck ruff consists of white feathers edged in black, producing a sharply scaled pattern.
