Suggestions for continued improvement
Nice job on the additions you've made so far,. I'm not sure how much more you have to do for your class, but here are some ideas of things to research if you want to bump this up to a B or higher.

Taxonomy

 * Who first described the species? When? Did he give it its current name, or something else?
 * Do we know where the type specimen was collected? Or where it is now? (i.e which museum?)
 * How many species are in the same genus? Do we know which the chestnut-bellied is most closely related to?
 * What is the etymology of its scientific name? (James Jobling's book -- available online -- is a great resource for this.)
 * Think about adding the date and describer for each subspecies; those are available here

Description

 * Length? Weight? Wingspan? Are males bigger?
 * You mention that there are six subspecies twice. You might rework this section a bit to describe the nominate subspecies first; that's standard, since that was the first subspecies described to science. Then describe the differences between that subspecies and the others.
 * Do we know what chicks and immature birds look like?
 * Are there any similar species that it might be confused with?

Habitat and range

 * Is there a range map available on Wikimedia Commons?
 * It would be good to delimit the range with actual country names. For instance, the eastern edge of their range is now said to be "western and southern Asia", but I have no idea where exactly that ends.

Behaviour

 * Do we know anything about their songs and calls?
 * Link to the xeno-canto website (using the template) so readers can hear them.
 * Do they carry water to their chicks in their breast feathers, like other Pterocles sandgrouse do?
 * Are all subspecies sedentary? Or just some?
 * There's no information about their current conservation status. Are they endangered anywhere? Declining? If so, why? We typically explain their IUCN status and why they're so rated.
