Pheasant

I've trawled through hundreds of images to try and find out what kind of pheasant this is, but can't find anything quite like it. Suffice to say it is not a ring-necked pheasant, and was found in the village of Diddington the other day. Perhaps someone could enlighten me?

Well...it's a good-looking one. Nice catch.

Perhaps a cousin of one that appeared around our place last year.
No idea what variety though! http://365project.org/sarah19/365/2011-03-17

Lovely pic but don't know what kind of pheasant this is

[Peter Reed]

I think it is called a Black Pheasant! Nice picture anyway

Handsome chap - lovely colours.

[Lesley Allen]

You did well to capture it, they are so quick .......not sure what type though

[Lesley Barber]

Well done you! You must have something in your aura to attract all these beautiful birds. Not an authority on pheasants though,I'm afraid!

A handsome bird, whatever his variety.
