Although similar in appearance to other Alectoris species, Philby's Partridge can be distinguished by its black cheeks and throat.

Philby is remembered in ornithology by the name of Philby's Partridge ('Alectoris philbyi').

Philby's Partridge (Alectoris philbyi), is a relative of the chukar, red-legged partridge and barbary partridges native to southwestern Arabia and northern Yemen.

It has been considered to form a superspecies complex along with the Rock Partridge, Philby's Partridge and Przevalski's Partridge and treated in the past as conspecific particularly with the first.
