Thanks to all who wrote in with their view on what type of pheasant mysteriously showed up here in Malaga. Ms. Diane Yorgason-Quinn has Green Pheasants on the island where she resides and therefore is my expert identifier. Merlin the app also said it may be a Green Pheasant and although most of the photos I found showed a much, much, lighter colored bird I did see one photo that was much darker and looked exactly like the bird in question. In addition, Diane said the females were darker than female ring-necked pheasants. If you would like to see the photo go to
