Chestnut-headed Partridge (Arborophila cambodiana)
About the Chestnut-headed Partridge
The chestnut-headed partridge (Arborophila cambodiana) is a bird species in the family Phasianidae. It is found in highland forest in Cambodia, specifically the Cardamom Mountains. The Siamese partridge, subspecies A. c. diversa, has sometimes been considered as a separate species. The chestnut-headed partridge was formally described in 1928 by the French ornithologists Jean Théodore Delacour and Pierre Jabouille based on a specimen collected near Bokor in southern Cambodia. They placed the new species with the partridges in the genus Arborophila and coined the binomial name Arborophila cambodiana. Three subspecies are recognised: A. c. diversa Riley, 1930 – southeast Thailand (Siamese partridge) A. c. chandamonyi Eames, JC & Steinheimer & Bansok, 2002 – southwest Cambodia
