White eared pheasants (Crossoptilon crossoptilon) are a species of "eared pheasants" and get their name because they are white and have the prominent ear tufts of the genus, not because they have white ears. They are called shagga, meaning snow fowl, by indigenous Himalayan peoples. These gregarious birds live in large flocks, foraging on alpine meadows close to or above the snowline throughout the year.
