Philby's partridge : ウィキペディア英語版 | Philby's partridge
Philby's partridge or Philby's rock partridge (''Alectoris philbyi''), is a relative of the chukar, red-legged partridge and barbary partridges and is native to southwestern Arabia and northern Yemen. Although similar in appearance to other ''Alectoris'' species, Philby's partridge can be distinguished by its black cheeks and throat. Although not currently listed as an endangered species, the Arab Spring and destruction of its fragile habitat in the tribal areas of Northern Yemen had led to concerns about the survival of this species.〔 The name commemorates the British explorer St John Philby. ==Description== Philby's partridge is similar in appearance to the chukar partridge and has greyish-brown plumage with the flanks boldly banded in black and pale buff. It differs from that species in having black cheeks and throat, and a thin white line separates this from the greyish-blue head and nape. The beak and legs are pink.
