Flame Golden pheasant

Thank you so much! That should make for some excellent, if heavy, reading. I love it when they make those articles available to thy public. Too often all you get is an abstract.

That bird is beautiful, thank you for sharing it!

I'm a little fuzzy on what the difference is from a standard red golden? The pictures you've shown both of your bird and elsewhere seem to show a bird with a bit more red, some extra black markings, and less blues than the "common" red golden pheasant.

Yep, you are correct. Here's some photos of my Goldens and a photo of the 'suspected' Flame Golden.

As you can see in the photo the Flame also has some barring in the tail feathers.
