The chestnut-headed partridge (Arborophila cambodiana) is a bird species in the family Phasianidae. It is found in highland forest in Cambodia, specifically the Cardamom Mountains. The Siamese partridge, subspecies A. c. diversa, has sometimes been considered as a separate species..
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The chestnut-headed partridge was formally described in 1928 by the French ornithologists Jean Théodore Delacour and Pierre Jabouille based on a specimen collected near Bokor in southern Cambodia. They placed the new species with the partridges in the genus Arborophila and coined the binomial name Arborophila cambodiana.[2][3]
Three subspecies are recognised:[4]
- A. c. diversa Riley, 1930 – southeast Thailand (Siamese partridge)
- A. c. chandamonyi Eames, JC & Steinheimer & Bansok, 2002 – southwest Cambodia
- A. c. cambodiana Delacour & Jabouille, 1928 – southeast Cambodia
The subspecies A. c. diversa has sometimes been considered as a separate species, the Siamese partridge.[4][5]
