PREVIOUS BIRD NEXT BIRD Vietnam

Female Silver Pheasants of the nominate race are overall rather dark brown, with black and white scaled underparts.

 

Their colours are much duller than those of male Silver Pheasants (fig.), but their scaled underparts are more colourful than the dull chestnut belly and breast of the subspecies Lophura nycthemera lineata (fig.).
