Orange-necked partridge

The orange-necked partridge (Arborophila davidi) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae.

It is threatened by habitat loss, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as a near-threatened species.

The specific name is derived from André David-Beaulieu, a French colonial administrator who collected the type specimen earlier in 1927.

[4] The orange-necked partridge is found in southern Vietnam and a small area in Mondulkiri, Cambodia.

It also occurs in some disturbed habitats, including scrubs, bamboos and logged plantations.

The territorial calls are a repeated, accelerating prruu, becoming pwi at higher pitches, and also a series of fast tu notes.

[4] After its discovery in 1927, the orange-necked partridge was "lost" until its 1991 rediscovery in Cát Tiên National Park.
