| Remarks : | Captive birds. Unfortunately, the flash from the camera plays tricks with the male's iris colour. Still, it may be possible to to tell his greenish-gray eye from the dark brown of the hen. The difference is not as evident as in Golden Pheasants Chrysolophus pictus but it´s typical. - JÅ |
