The Kalij Pheasant is a pheasant found all along the foothills of the Himalaya in a number of local populations with variations. They are also found (though somewhat rare) in the islands of Hawaii, where it is considered an invasive species because it consumes and disperses seeds of invasive plant species.
The name is also spelt Kaleege in older texts, such as Frank Finn's Game Birds of India and Asia (1911), though no longer in his Indian Sporting Birds (1915)
