    $\begingroup$ Please edit your question and give us some more details. How big is this animal? Where did you see it? What sort of habitat? Most importantly, what makes you think that isn't a peacock? $\endgroup$

It looks like male Great Argus (Argusianus argus) displaying to a female. The circular markings on the male pheasant's secondaries are pretty distinct. The specific epithet argus refers to a hundred-eyed giant from Greek mythology.

    $\begingroup$ I think you're right, the answer could be improved with a link of some sort & a note to the effect it's a species of pheasant wouldn't hurt either :) $\endgroup$
