Tropicoperdix
Tropicoperdix is a genus of two species of birds in the pheasant family, Phasianidae. Although formerly classified in the now-defunct subfamily Perdicinae, phylogenetic evidence supports them being the only living genus of the subtribe Tropicoperdicina and the most basal members of the tribe Pavonini, which also contains the much larger and more brightly colored peafowl and arguses. They are referred to as East Asian forest partridges.
