Hi FrederickBoeRodriguez In order to provide the accurate information on PN, I took a liberty to curate you spotting, and add the ID and some references. This is Chukar partridge, an European and Asian phasianid bird, introduced to US as a gamebird. Hope you don't mind my intervention. Cheers

Interesting story of its introduction as game (I hate the "game" word when used for hunting purposes...) bird here: https://travelnevada.com/adventures/30282/chukkar-partridge-nevada
