Blyth's tragopan  (Tragopan blythii)

Occurs from Bhutan, through north-east India and north Myanmar, to south-east Tibet and south-central China (2) (5). Two subspecies are recognised: T. b. molesworthi is much rarer than T. b. blythii and reported only from east Bhutan and the adjacent Mishmi hills in north-east India (2) (4).

Found in densely wooded valleys and hillsides, preferring the undergrowth of evergreen oak and rhododendron forests, often dominated by bamboo or ferns (2) (5). Documented from 1,400 metres (winter) up to 3,300 metres (summer), but most records are at between 1,800 and 2,400 metres above sea level (5).
