Unidentified Partridge?

Physical Description

21 x 28cm pencil; watercolor; chalk-charcoal-pastel

General

At head of page: "Meleager Wagler / Ibis[?] 1832" [Ibis is likely inaccurate, having begun as late as 1859]. Closest obvious resemblance is to Perdix hodgsoniae, Birds of Asia VI:74, but coloring is wrong. Appears to be the left upper corner of a full-page layout, showing one bird from a larger grouping. Artist's name(s): Gould, John[?].
