About the Dulit Partridge
The Dulit partridge, also known as Hose's partridge, is a bird in the Phasianidae, or pheasant, family. It is endemic to Borneo, where it appears to be separated altitudinally from the closely related long-billed partridge R. longirostris. It was formerly considered to be a distinctive subspecies of the long-billed partridge, but is now treated as a distinct species, Rhizothera dulitensis. It is little-known, rare, and has not been recorded since 1902; a claim that it was sighted in 1937 is likely not true.
