Spotted
An endemic species of Sumatra, this peacock-pheasant stands out with its iridescent bronze-green tail feathers, notably lacking the distinct ocelli found in many other Polyplectron species.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane and submontane forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, typically found at higher elevations than other Sumatran pheasants.
How to spot
This shy bird is best observed by remaining still and quiet in its forest habitat. Look for signs of foraging on the forest floor, and listen for its distinctive calls, which are often the first indication of its presence.
When to spot
Most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon, when they forage.

The male's tail feathers glow with a metallic bronze sheen in direct sunlight, which is unique and a key distinguishing feature among peacock-pheasants, giving the species its name.
