The grey junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii), also known as Sonnerat's junglefowl, is one of the wild ancestors of domestic fowl together with the red junglefowl and other junglefowls. The species epithet commemorates the French explorer Pierre Sonnerat. Grey junglefowls are endemic to India, and even today they are found mainly in peninsular India and towards the northern boundary. It will sometimes hybridize in the wild with the red junglefowl. It also hybridizes readily in captivity and sometimes with free-range domestic fowl kept in habitations close to forests. Order: Galliformes, Family: Phasianidae, Subfamily: Phasianinae, Genus: Gallus, Species: Gallus sonneratii Temminck, 1813.
