Mountain pheasant
The black grouse, also commonly known as the capercaillie (Lyrurus tetrix), is one of the species that make up the typical alpine fauna. The adult male has black plumage with metallic blue highlights, white-edged wings, a deeply forked "lyre-shaped" tail, and red wattles above the eyes, which become particularly prominent in spring. The female, smaller and with brown-mimetic plumage, blends in with the surrounding environment and is less conspicuous.
