This image is that of a female Khaleej pheasant. Corbett National Park. I don't have too many shots of this species as they are not easily photographed.

Canon EOS 1D Mark II, EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM plus EF 2xII TC i.e at 800mm focal length. ISO 400, f5.6, 1/40 sec. Full frame. The light was fading when I found them. I parked the vehicle and after sometime they came slightly closer.

Look forward to your comments.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Wow... this is a real stunner...... the wings, crest,throat feathers are so sharp.....!!!! looks almost like they are artificially pencilled in....
I just love that red patch around the throat.... the color looks so vibrant....
what time of the day was this taken...???
