Any Knowledgeable Twitchers Out There?

That can identify this bird?

Quite a plucky little sod.....Saw off two Magpies!

He looks like a red-legged partridge.

Partridge.

Very tasty, challenging little blighter to shoot. Often in a small group (covey).

Currently out of season for shooting.

At first I thought it was a Hen Pheasant but the tail was too short.

Have to say it was amusing watching it stand up against the two Magpies!

Definitely Red Legged Partridge.

I saw a whole family of them in town earlier. I'm not sure if they had red legs though.

LOL... I love it when a thread has it comics!

Getting back to the original post about the bird identity, thanks to you guys who answered my question!

Okay by me John, as you probably already know I haven't a problem with threads going off topic!
