Least Concern

The Long-tailed Wood-Partridge is a Mexican highland species with a long tail and a quiet forest-floor lifestyle. It occurs in pine-oak, cloud forest, and dense mountain woodland, where coveys forage for plant matter and insects. Its population is not globally threatened but is tied to remaining montane forest.
