The Chinese grouse, also known as the Severtzov's grouse or black-breasted hazel grouse[2] (Tetrastes sewerzowi) is a grouse species closely related to the hazel grouse.
It is a sedentary bird which inhabits conifer-rich mixed montane forests of central China. The bird is very similar in appearance to the hazel grouse apart from less of a white stripe on the head and neck.
The bird is named after a Russian explorer and naturalist, Nikolai Alekseevich Severtzov.[3]
