White-winged Pheasant

Description:

This is almost certainly a male white-winged pheasant, which is about 60–89 cm (24–35 in) in length with a long brown tail, which is about 50 cm (20 in) of the total body length. The back is a rich rust spotted with white with the wings having streaks of white, hence this bird's name. The head is green with a red eye patch and light colored bill. Below is darker. Females are mottled brown.

Habitat:

Grasslands with some shrubbery and agricultural fields in North America. They tend to winter in wetlands.

Notes:

The pheasant family is very large and with many intergrades between races.
