It is found in oak and rhododendron forests with dense undergrowth including bamboo at between 2,400 and 4,250 metres and is usually associated with streams and gullies.

The male is spectacular with a black and dark blue face deep red neck, breast and belly and brown back and wings all covered with small white spots surrounded by black.

The female, seen here in photos 2 and 3 is brown with some rufous and is also covered with small spots.
