Groundbird 11/16 - Chestnut-necklaced Hill Patridge (lifer 496)


I was dying to catch this bird when news came about of its appearance at Pedu Lake of Kedah. I did make a trip  last year there following the direction given by  my good buddies. I sighted it in the late morning but with no photo; I came back to Alor Setar empty handed.

This time it was fruitful enough that I was  given ample time to shoot in close quarters. Thanks Ang / Kenny boy....for nothing 😁. By the way Zhong just commented that its a different specie from Peninsula (Arborophila charltonii ssp. charltonii). I think they are subspecies and yet to be split...............vs
Arborophila graydoni
