Temminck's tragopan (Gà lôi tía, Tragopan temminckii)

The Temminck's tragopan (Tragopan temminckii) is a pheasant in the genus Tragopan.
The bird species is found across the mountains of far northeast India, central China, far northern Myanmar to northwestern Tonkin (northern Vietnam).


Galliformes is the scientific (Latin-based) name for the order of heavy-bodied, ground-feeding birds like chickens, turkeys, pheasants, and quail; the name itself comes from the Latin word "gallus," meaning "cock" or "rooster". 

The family name Phasianidae comes from Latin phasianus, meaning "pheasant," which itself derives from the Ancient Greek word phāsiānos (φᾱσιανός), meaning "bird of the Phasis," named after the ancient river Phasis (now Rioni) in Georgia, where these birds were known to Europeans. So, the root is Greek (Phasis) -> Latin (Phasianus) -> New Latin (Phasianidae). 

The genus "tragopan" comes from Greek, combining τράγος (trágos) meaning "he-goat" and Πάν (Pán) meaning "Pan," the Greek god of woods and shepherds, often depicted with goat features, referring to the male pheasant's goat-like horns and wattle during courtship displays. The Greek term was adopted into Latin (tragopān) and then New Latin for the bird genus.
