Spotted
The White-cheeked Partridge is a distinctive partridge species found across a fragmented range in Southeast Asia. It is easily recognized by its prominent white cheek patch and a black throat.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense evergreen forests, particularly in hilly and montane areas, across parts of Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and China.
How to spot
Highly secretive and difficult to see in its dense habitat. Listen intently for its characteristic calls, which are often the only indication of its presence. Look for movement on the forest floor, especially near water sources.
When to spot
Most vocal at dawn and dusk, especially during the breeding season (spring). Can be observed year-round.

This species is known for its intricate 'mournful' whistle calls, often given in a duet by a pair, which are a characteristic sound of the dense forests it inhabits.
