Malayan Crestless Fireback

Lophura erythrophthalma

The Malayan crestless fireback or Malay crestless fireback is a member of the family Phasianidae. It was previously known as the crestless fireback when it was lumped together with the Bornean crestless fireback. The two species were separated into two monotypic species based on obvious plumage differences, most notably the virtually unmarked dark plumage of the male.
