Temminck's Tragopan

Temminck's tragopan is a medium-sized pheasant about 64cm long. The male is a stocky red-and-orange bird with white-spotted plumage, a black bill and pink legs. In display he shows bare blue facial skin, an inflatable dark-blue throat lappet and horns. Females are white-spotted brown with blue skin round the eye. It resembles the satyr tragopan but has an all-red upper body and an orange collar (Wikipedia, general species account).

The diet consists mainly of berries, grass and plants. It is found across the mountains of far north-east India, central China, far northern Myanmar and north-western Vietnam, and as of 2024 its global population was estimated at 67,000 to 340,000 mature birds. The account opened does not name Bhutan, so its occurrence there is flagged for checking.
