Fenghuang

This is a fenghuang.
The Fenghuang are birds of myth in East Asia that are kind of like the "emporer of birds". The boys are called Feng and the girls and called Huang. Now days, the distinction of gender isnt called Feng and Huang very often. Instead, they are blurred into a single feminine entity so the bird can be paired with the Chinese dragon which has male connotations. The Fenghuang can also be called an August Rooster. In the west, it is sometimes referred to as the Chinese phoenix.
The fenghuang is usually depicted of it attacking snakes with it's talons and its wings outspread. According to Erya, the Fenghuang is said to have the beak of a rooster, the face of a swallow, the forehead of a fowl, the neck of a snake, the breast of a goose, the breast of a tortoise, the hindquarters of a stag, and the tail of a fish. However, today, it is described as a composite of many birds including the head of a golden pheasant, the body of a duck, the tail of a peacock, the legs of a crane, the mouth of a parrot, and the wings of a swallow. Chinese tradition says that it lives on top of the Kunlun Mountains in nothern China.
