a friend of mine in DUTCHESS sent this to me walking in his yard https://youtu.be/jhhkqdM8NVc ... is it a pheasant or peacock or something else?
-
It looks a lot like the white peacocks they have at the Nature Center in Kingston.
-
I have never seen a pheasant with a tail that long. It look small for a peafowl, but I think GrizG is probably right, White Peacock.
-
Update: When I watched the video in full screen a few times it looks more like a pheasant the way the head is shaped and way it moves. The tail looked wrong... however, thinking it could be a mature bird (big ones in the mid-west look different from what we see) or a subspecies I dug around the web.
It does seem to look like the White pheasant or Silver pheasant, a specie of bird found in China Myanmar and Thailand per https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/white-pheasant-silver-specie-bird-found-739153690
That someone imported them would not surprise me. After all, pheasants aren't native to the U.S. either.

Nice. I've only seen the ringneck before. You must have a neighbor that likes to have exotic birds in his yard.

If it flushes 100 yards out of range in the laurel---it could be what I am thinking is our shy R Grouse ;D
