Chestnut-necklaced Partridge (Tropicoperdix charltonii)
About the Chestnut-necklaced Partridge
The chestnut-necklaced partridge (Tropicoperdix charltonii) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is found in forests in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. It is threatened by habitat loss and trapping. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as vulnerable. This species was described by Thomas Campbell Eyton as Perdix Charltonii in 1845. The IOC World Bird List recognises the subspecies T. c. charltonii found in the Malay Peninsula, T. c. atjenensis in Sumatra. Some authorities have considered the green-legged partridge (A. chloropus) to be conspecific with this species. The Sabah partridge (T. graydoni) was also previously considered conspecific.
