The crimson-headed partridge (Haematortyx sanguiniceps) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae, and the only member of the genus Haematortyx. It is endemic to the island of Borneo.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
Its closest relatives are the Asian spurfowl (genus Galloperdix) and the peacock-pheasants (genus Polyplectron), which are both also in the tribe Polyplectronini. Haematortyx is thought to be the most basal of the three.[3]
