Jenny,

I can't tell if it is a juvenile. Could be an adult female but it is a
pheasant. Someone nearby presumably keeps pheasants and this one has got
away. I think the common species are Silver Pheasant, Lady Amherst Pheasant,
Reeves's Pheasant and Golden Pheasant. I don't know these well enough to
guess. So presumably one of these or another I have forgotten. It could also
be a hybrid involving these or another species.

What bird is this? It's a juvenile, but what species?
Please reply to Jenny if you can help with identification.
