🐔Green Pheasant

Phasianus versicolor Vieillot, 1825

Der Buntfasan (Phasianus versicolor) ist eine Hühnervogelart aus der Familie der Fasanenartigen. Er ist auf den japanischen Hauptinseln Honshū, Shikoku und Kyushu endemisch, wo er busch- und gehölzbestandenes Hügelland am Rande der Kulturlandschaft bewohnt. Auf Hawaii und in Nordamerika wurde die Art eingeführt. Von manchen Autoren wird der Artstatus angezweifelt und die drei Unterarten werden als Unterartengruppe des Fasans (Phasianus colchicus) angesehen. Nach anderen Autoren bildet der Buntfasan mit diesem eine Superspezies. Bisweilen tritt Hybridisierung mit dem Kupferfasan auf.
