Temminck's Tragopan

Tragopan temminckii

Temminck's Tragopan Temminck's Tragopan male with horns
Tragopans are named after goats because the male has fleshy, retractable "horns," the Latin for goat being tragus and Pan being a half-goat god. They are also called horny pheasants.
They are a type of pheasant that nests in trees and they come from the Himalayas and southeast Asia. Temminck's Tragopan comes from northeast India, Tibet and China.

Sometimes called the most beautiful pheasant (presumably by people that have never seen a peacock, a monal or a Palawan Peacock-pheasant), it is a beautiful tragopan and particularly striking when the male extends the inflatable flaps on his bright blue face against his orange collar and red plumage studded with laced white pearls. (The Satyr Tragopan is more beautiful in display.)

As usual with pheasants, the female Tragopan is plainer (but still patterned) and well-camouflaged.
