Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, Assam, India, 2024
Resident Himalayas, NE and E. India. Male has rufous-orange hackles, blackish brown underparts, rufous wing panel, white tail base, and long greenish-black or deep purple, sickle-shaped tail. Male's loud cock-a-doodle-doo is very similar to crowing domestic cockerel. Habitat in forest undergrowth and shrub.
Such a multi-colored bird! Amazing Nature! Luckily for me, this bird crossed the track of our safari jeep in the front and I could steal this shot.
Compare with Domestic fowl.
Nikon D6, Nikkor 200-400mm f/4g lens, f5.6, 1/400s, ISO 3200.
Thanks to all of you who fave and/or comment on the photograph!
