Description
The chestnut-bellied partridge (Arborophila javanica) also known as chestnut-bellied hill-partridge or Javan hill-partridge is a small, up to 28 cm long, partridge with a rufous crown and nape, red legs, grey breast, brown wings, red facial skin, and a black mask, throat and bill. It has a rufous belly with white on the middle. Both sexes are similar. The young has whitish face and reddish brown bill. An Indonesian endemic, the chestnut-bellied partridge is distributed to hill and mountain forests of west and east Java.

A common species in its limited range, the chestnut-bellied partridge is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Feeding Habits
Chestnut-bellied Partridge likely shares similar feeding habits to closely related species, foraging on the ground for plant material, seeds, and insects. They typically feed in groups and have adapted to seek food in their forest habitats.
Habitat
The chestnut-bellied Partridge typically inhabits dense forest ecosystems. These birds are found in areas characterized by rich biodiversity and complex vertical structure, frequently consisting of a variety of native tree species but notably not in monoculture plantations of pine, rubber, damar, kauri, or mahogany. Their habitat preference is for natural wooded environments, staying clear of areas impacted by agricultural tree plantations.
