The white-cheeked partridge (Arborophila atrogularis) is a species of partridge in the family Phasianidae, native to Asia. It is found mainly in Northeast India, northern Myanmar, and northeast Bangladesh, inhabiting dense undergrowth in primary and secondary evergreen forest; this sometimes includes adjacent areas of scrub, bamboo, grassland and cultivated land. In India, the species occurs generally at altitudes below 750 m, but may be found at up to 1,220 m in South-East Asia.
The white-cheeked partridge is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. Population numbers are unknown and believed to be decreasing, but not at a rate fast enough to warrant a Near Threatened status. It is threatened habitat loss and hunting. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-cheecked Hill Partridge sighting in Manas National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 326th most-seen of the 377 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-cheecked Hill Partridge in Manas National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-cheecked Hill Partridge sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate White-cheecked Hill Partridge sightings, Manas National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Namdapha National Park (India, about 10%).
Same family: Phasianidae
The closest relatives of the White-cheecked Hill Partridge that you can see in Manas National Park (family Phasianidae, Pheasants, Grouse, and Allies) are Common Peafowl (about 60%), Red Junglefowl (about 50%) and Kalij Pheasant (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-cheecked Hill Partridge is recorded against all the birds logged in Manas National Park (12 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
