About the Horsfields Kalij Pheasant
Horsfield's Kalij (L. l. lathami), of eastern Bhutan and north-east India into Myanmar, is a member of the western/central group: the cock is largely glossy blue-black with a blue-black crest and white restricted mainly to the rump and underparts, rather than the white-vermiculated upperparts of the eastern forms. It carries the breed's characteristic bare red face. A robust, even-tempered ornamental pheasant typical of the species.
