Thaumalia amherstiae [now Chrysolophus amherstiae] - Lady Amherst’s Pheasant

Despite the flashy appearance and elegant tail that look like they would stick out anywhere, Lady Amherst’s Pheasant does a remarkably good job at blending in with the underbrush of its native rainforest habitat, in Myanmar and China. Though not endangered, they are rarely seen in the wild.

Birds of Asia. John Gould, 1850-86.
