Elliot's Pheasant (Syrmaticus ellioti) — also called the Chinese Bar-Backed Pheasant or Barred-Back Pheasant

is native to southeast China. These large gamebirds were named after the American orinthologist Daniel Giraud Elliot by Robert Swinhoe. Like the Swinhoe Pheasant, this breed is also near-threatened due to habitat loss.
