Spotted
The Ferruginous Partridge is a striking ground-dwelling bird native to Southeast Asia, characterized by its rich rufous plumage and distinctive white eye-spots on its flanks. It is a shy inhabitant of dense lowland rainforests.
Where to spot
Inhabits lowland evergreen forests, bamboo thickets, and secondary growth across parts of Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and southern Thailand.
How to spot
Remains well-hidden in dense undergrowth, making it difficult to spot. The most reliable method of detection is by listening for its clear, whistling calls. Look for it walking quietly along forest trails or in small clearings.
When to spot
Best observed during early mornings or late afternoons when foraging, or when calling, primarily during the breeding season.

Its scientific name, 'oculeus', directly translates to 'eyed', referring to the prominent white, black-edged spots on its flanks that resemble eyes.
