This distinctive peacock-pheasant inhabits the montane forests of the Malay Peninsula. Its plumage is generally darker, with subtle ocelli, distinguishing it from its lowland relatives.
Where to spot
Found exclusively in the montane cloud forests and submontane forests of Peninsular Malaysia, usually above 900 meters (3,000 feet) elevation.
How to spot
Patience is key in its dense mountain habitat. Listen for their calls echoing through the misty forests. Search along forest trails and near forest edges, moving slowly and quietly.
When to spot
Activity peaks in the early morning and late afternoon; observations are possible throughout the year.

Unlike other peacock-pheasants that typically prefer lowland forests, this species is adapted to higher elevations, giving it its 'Mountain' common name, a nod to its unique habitat preference.
