Description
The ferruginous partridge measures from 27 to 32 cm (11–13 in) in length and weighs between 191–230 g (6.7–8.1 oz). The plumage is distinctive, having a rufous head, breast and belly and black scaled with white upper back and sides of breast and flanks. The wings are brown with black spots, and the rest of the back is black scaled with rufous. The sexes are similar except the male has two spurs and the female just one.

Feeding Habits
Ferruginous Partridge primarily feeds on seeds, grasses, berries, and insects. They forage alone or in pairs, occasionally in small, unconfirmed groups. Unique preferences for fallen figs set their diet apart.
Habitat
The habitat of ferruginous Partridge encompasses evergreen and semi-evergreen forests with varied local conditions, from dry mountainous regions to sandy valleys. This species thrives in both primary and secondary forests, as well as in secondary scrub and bamboo-dominated second growth, predominantly in the broader regions of Southeast Asia, which include parts of Sumatra.
Dite type
Omnivorous
General Info
Behavior
The ferruginous partridge forages in small pairs or alone for seeds, fruits, grasses and insects. Very little is known about its breeding behaviour; the clutch size is 8-10 pure white eggs laid in a domed nest.
Distribution Area
The ferruginous partridge is found in a variety of habitats, including tropical dry forest and tropical moist lowland forest, secondary scrub and secondary bamboo growth. It is found from sea-level to 1,200 m (3,900 ft). The ferruginous partridge ranges from southern Myanmar through the Kra Isthmus into the Malay Peninsula, as well as Borneo and Sumatra.
Species Status
The ferruginous partridge is believed to be declining across its range due to habitat loss, and has therefore been assessed as near threatened with extinction.
