The Himalayan pheasant is a large bird from the pheasant family. It lives on the mountain slopes of the Himalayas and is distinguished by its long tail and gray plumage.
The Himalayan pheasant differs from other pheasants by its long tail and modest gray coloration in both sexes. It is important for nature as a disperser of plant seeds in mountainous areas.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
