Chinese Grouse, also known as the Severtzov's Grouse or Black-breasted Hazel Grouse (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.
