English: Hazel Grouse, Hazel Hen
Russian: Рябчик
German: Haselhuhn
French: Gelinotte des bois
Mongolian: Шивэр хөтүү, Хөтүү
Japanese: エゾライチョウ (Ezo-raicho)

Body length: 34-39 cm.

Sedentary in mixed coniferous (rarely broadleaved), closed forests, preferring damp and densely undergrown areas with old spruces. Spends much time on the ground in shaded places, but may walk along the limbs of trees, and take a perch high up in trees. Difficult to see, cleverly keeps in cover; does not squat, flies early.

Identification: Rather small, roughly Jackdaw-sized, has plump body, small head and bill. Intricate plumage pattern with greyish upperparts, brownish wings and whitish underparts, latter marked dark brown and rufous.

  • ♂: Short crest, which can be erected; throat bib blackish, bordered white; tail greyish with prominent black terminal band.
  • ♀: Like ♂, but smaller crest, and throat brown, speckled white, not black; colours duller, upperparts less clean grey.
