Media notes
Eclipse male. Remarks: I was watching birds around the neighbourhood (up to 1-2 km away) and visited sites I have been "neglecting". One is a large, longstanding, stalled housing project where lots of birds have found a habitat over the years including some Red Junglefowl that have been breeding there. I was at the edge of the area when this adult male in eclipse came out to forage. Robson (Craig Robson. Field Guide to Birds of SE Asia. 2002) states "Male eclipse: After breeding. Crown and neck all blackish, lacks hackles, tail shorter, comb and lappets may appear shrivelled." Had some good views over 10 minutes as I stayed in the car and tried my luck with pictures from a distance. Very beautiful in the light but can look very dark in the shadows. - Amar .
