Dulit Partridge
Rhizothera dulitensis
The Dulit partridge (Rhizothera dulitensis), 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.

Description
The partridge is 30 cm in length. Like the long-billed partridge, it is mainly rufous-buff in colour, with a lavender-grey breast-band, a long, black, curved bill and yellow legs. It differs from the long-billed partridge in that the grey breast band is twice as wide, and the underparts are whitish-buff rather than bright orange-buff.
Range & habitat
The partridge is confined to lower montane forest on the mountains of Borneo. It was first recorded from Mount Dulit and later found on Mount Murud and Mount Batu Song, all in northern Sarawak. Two specimens were collected by Everett on Mount Kinabalu in Sabah in 1895, but it has not been recorded from that state since.
