Szechenyi's Monal-Partridge (Tetraophasis szechenyii)
About the Szechenyi's Monal-Partridge
Buff-throated monal-partridge (Tetraophasis szechenyii), also known as buff-throated partridge or Szechenyi's monal-partridge, is a member of the family Phasianidae in the order Galliformes. It is endemic to western China. The Latin binomial commemorates Béla Széchenyi, a Hungarian explorer. Complete mitochondrial genome sequencing of the species places the buff-throated monal-partridge in the genus Tetraophasis in the family Phasianidae. Phylogenetic positioning of the Tetraophasis has been understudied, though there is strong support that it and genus Lophophorus are sister genera, forming a subclade with Tragopan.
