Taiwan partridge
- ... that Robert Swinhoe initially thought that the "ugly raw-looking red patch on the throat" of the Taiwan partridge (pictured) was an injury? Source: "the most striking peculiarity was in their all having an ugly raw-looking red patch on the throat. I thought it curious that all the birds should be so injured, if the peculiarity arose from an injury; but, on examining them closely, I found that the bare throat was natural." Ibis

5x expanded by Gulumeemee (talk). Self-nominated at 02:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC).
Hi Gulumeemee, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed on 18 November; article of good length; article well written and impeccably referenced to scientific journals; hook fact is interesting and checks out to cited source; QPQ done. One thing I would say is that it should probably be mentioned in the article that the red patch is exhibited only in the breeding season (I presume this is the case, it it mentioned by Swinhoe as probably so), I spent some time wondering why the photo didn't show a red patch. It would be better that the hook ran without the photo because of this (unless there is a photo of it with the red throat?) - Dumelow (talk) 12:22, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. I edited the article to say that the red patch exists only in the breeding season. Gulumeemee (talk) 01:52, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
