Spotted
A striking and endemic partridge found exclusively on the island of Borneo, notable for the male's vibrant crimson head and breast and overall dark plumage.
Where to spot
Montane rainforests, typically at elevations between 1,000 and 1,700 meters, across the mountainous regions of Borneo (Malaysia and Indonesia).
How to spot
Extremely shy and difficult to approach. Best strategy is to sit quietly in suitable habitat and listen for its distinctive, often shrill calls. A good view might require patience near trails or clearings.
When to spot
Active during the day, foraging on the forest floor. Can be heard calling in the early morning or late afternoon.

Unlike many ground-dwelling pheasants, the Crimson-headed Partridge is sometimes observed perching in trees, particularly when alarmed or roosting.
