  Phasianidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Phasianidae is a family of birds which consists of the pheasants and their allies.
The American Ornithological Union includes Tetraonidae, Numididae, and Meleagrididae in Phasianidae as subfamilies.
These are terrestrial species, variable in size but generally plump, with broad relatively short wings.

 The Galliformes
Other well known members of this group include various pheasants, grouse, partridges and quail as well as the peafowl the male of which is well known as the peacock.
This family comprises birds that were until recently in several separate families; Grouse - tetraonedae, Pheasants and quail - Phasianidae and Turkeys - Meleognididae.
Further confusion is caused by the fact that in some books the Odontophanidae are included within the Phasianidae, but are now considered to be a family in their own right.

The true partridges of the Old World are members of the pheasant family (Phasianidae); the common European or Hungarian species has been successfully introduced in parts of North America.
In some areas of the United States the name partridge is applied to the ruffed grouse, the bobwhite, and the plumed quail; in Europe the South American tinamou is called a partridge.
True partridges are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Galliformes, family Phasianidae.

It is restricted to lowland forest in the heart of the Congo basin, and almost nothing is known of its biology.
The Phasianidae includes 41 species of francolins in the genus Francolinus; the great majority (all but five) are African species.

 ADW: Galliformes: Information
Five groups within Galliformes are variously recognized: Megapodiidae (7 genera, 19 to 22 species), Cracidae (11 genera, 50 species), Numididae (4 genera, 6 species), Odontophoridae (9 genera, 32 species) and Phasianidae (49 genera, 180 species).
Two proposed hypotheses suggest that either Megapodiidae is sister to Cracidae or that Megapodiidae is sister to the group comprising Cracidae and Phasianidae.
Relationships within Megapodiidae, Cracidae and Phasianidae remain unresolved and different analyses have split Phasianidae into a number of distinct groups.

 Gazette article about Peafowl-Guineafowl hybrid
However, under domestication these two species have been brought together by man. Both the Common Guinea and Peafowl belong to the order Galliformes, but are classified as members of different families.
The peafowl belongs to the family Phasianidae while the guinea belongs to the family Numididae (Wetmore, 1960; Storer, 1971).
Storer's (1971) classification includes the grouse, quail, pheasants, turkeys in the Phasianidae but retains the family Numididae for the guineafowl.
