What is this bird?

[CruCru]

I am in a pub after a fairly serious lunch. Am having a discussion with my husband and the bar staff over which bird this is. What do you think?

Here it is.

Pheasant of some sort. I thought Lady Amherst's at first but the colours aren't right.

White pheasant

Silver pheasant

A grouse of some kind?

A poor dead one. I never understand why people use their corpses as decoration.

Think it’s a Silver Pheasant.

I couldn't resist -

Ah super! Thank you. Looks like a silver pheasant.

Yes, it's a silver pheasant. They are much lovelier alive. Also check out golden pheasant, kalij pheasant and the spectacular Lady Amhurst's pheasant 🙂

It is very definitely an ex-whatever it is!

Pheasant

@CruCru said softly, your name is remarkably similar to the purling noise I've heard male ring neck pheasants make as they mooch around looking for food. 🪶
