Malayan Partridge

Arborophila campbelli

Small and reclusive gamebird of the Malay Peninsula’s forested highlands. If seen well, note white cheeks, dark head, and dappled tortoiseshell back and wings. Like other Arborophila partridges, typically forages quietly on the forest floor in pairs or small groups—rarely out in the open, but can be tame at feeding blinds. Listen for its loud song, a repetitive series of rising ringing notes.
