Elderly pheasant

" Where the pheasant roosts at night,
Lonely, drowsy, out of sight,
Where the evening breezes sigh
Solitary, there stray I.

Close along the shaded stream,
Source of many a youthful dream,
Where branchy cedars dim the day
There I muse, and there I stray."

Philip Freneau

I think this is an elderly bird because I've never seen one with markings quite like this - particularly the predominant red wattle.
