Where to spot
This species is endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of central and southern Mexico, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Due to its shy nature and dense habitat, the Long-tailed Wood-Partridge is more often heard than seen. Listen for its loud, resonant calls that carry through the forest. Observing it requires significant patience and quiet movement.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk when it forages and calls. It is a resident species, present year-round within its range.

Its tail, which can be nearly half the bird's total length, is its most prominent feature and gives it its common name, distinguishing it from other wood-partridges.
