That is called a Chukar Partridge Chances are, it was probably once owned by a breeder and got loose. I have a friend who breeds them. I think they're pretty

I think there are some wild populations established in the US and are hunted I believe. But most I see are domestic.

THanks! It must have been from a breeder, but im clueless of how it could possibly get into my yard. The only birds I knew that have been kept in my neighborhood were, pigeons (me) and a few people with chickens. They do look good.
