Reed Pheasant

“Panurus biarmicus, the “Bearded Tit” or “Reed-Pheasant” plumage is orange-brown above, with grey crown and a black streak from the lores down the cheeks, where the feathers are elongated and point backwards; the wings are varied with black and white; the throat is greyish, the breast pinkish; the abdomen coloured like the back; the under tail-coverts are black, the bill is yellow. The hen has a buff head, while she lacks the black “moustache” and under tail-coverts.” A. H. Evans, 1900
