Help with an ID please...
I've no idea if I'm doing this right but....

Just got back from an amazing holiday on the Isle of Mull where we saw all kinds of fantastic birds and wildlife (including the first flight of a fledgling White Tailed Eagle - with an RSPB warden before anyone gets upset!) and just wondered if anyone could help identify this guy... A baby something?







Thanks x

Well it looks pheasant-like to me certainly.

Facially I first thought a BoP, like a Buzzard or something, though it may be the wrong place. Probably a pheasant though, as has been said.

I also thought Buzzard at first, probably because of the plumage, then I realised the beak was all wrong.

Juvenile Hen Pheasant for me.
