Its face and head are a beige / buff colour down to the upper chest with dull red cheek spots The chest and upper back are speckled grey / brown, the back patterned grey and brown

A Red-legged Partridge stands on a wooden fence looking back at the camera, its face and head are buff on top, white stripe above and below the eye, a bright red eye ring and beak stand out. under its chin is a white patch bordered by a black line curving from the eye to its chest, below that is mottled white / black then on to multi coloured brown, grey, red, body feathers.
