The Rufous-tailed Partridge is a beautiful and distinctive partridge species endemic to the island of Borneo. It is recognized by its rufous tail, dark crown, and prominent white stripe below the eye.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense montane rainforests and mossy forests, typically at higher elevations, on the island of Borneo (Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei).
How to spot
A shy forest bird, best located by listening for its characteristic calls, which are loud, clear whistles. Look for it foraging quietly on the forest floor amidst dense vegetation, moving slowly and patiently.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk. Can be found year-round.

Unlike many ground-dwelling partridges, this species has a relatively short, distinctively rufous tail, which can be a key identification feature if glimpsed well in the forest undergrowth.
