The
imperial pheasant is a
dark blue, medium-sized, up to 75 cm long pheasant with bare red facial
skin, blue crest, crimson legs and glossy plumage. The female is brown with
erectile short feather crest, blackish tail and primaries. The imperial
pheasant is found in the forests of Vietnam and Laos. Its appearance resembles
another of Vietnam's enigmatic birds, the Vietnamese pheasant, but it is larger
in size, has a longer tail, and an all dark blue crest and tail feathers. The
latter species has a white crest and central tail feathers.
