Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi) - Male
The Siamese Fireback, Lophura diardi also known as Diard's Fireback is a medium-sized, approximately 80 cm long, pheasant.
This is the other *star* bird at Phu Khieo - the Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi), which is designated as the national bird of Thailand...
a big bird with long tail - luckily I had brought along my 105mm macro lens ! else I would not have been able to get shots of the entire bird using my 600mm, as the group - one male and 3 females strolled around only mere meters away from our hides.. :)
This is only my 2nd pheasant - the 1st being the Silver-backed Pheasant - also photographed in Thailand at Kreang Krachan
