The adult male common pheasant of the nominate subspecies Phasianus colchicus colchicus has a long brown streaked tail. The body plumage is barred bright gold or fiery copper-red and chestnut-brown plumage with iridescent sheen of green and purple; but rump uniform is sometimes blue.

Himalayan Monal also called Pheasant is the national bird of Nepal. However deforestation and loss of habitat means many of us have rarely seen it in the wild. Nice picture!
