PLUMAGES OF THE GOLDEN PHEASANT 



Chrysolophus pictus (Linnaeus) 



Fig. I. Chick in down with sprouting mantle and wing-feathers of the next plumage. 

 Fig. 2. Male juvenile plumage, closely resembling that of the adult female. 



Fig. 3. Male in first-year plumage, showing hint of the ruff and the scarlet pigment. The tail is the 

 last to be moulted, so it is closest in pattern and pigmentation to that of the adult bird.
