Here we have a male Edward's Pheasant on the right and on the left is the female, a less spectacular looking brown bird.
The Edward's Pheasant is native to Vietnam and is named after the French ornithologist Alphonse Milne-Edwards.
Lophura edwardsi is on the list of endangered species having suffered from deforestation, hunting and the use of chemical sprays during the Vietnam War.
The alarm call is a puk-puk-puk.
