Shot many a Chukar, that be it. Somewhat good eating, probably got loose from a pen raising place.

Definitely a checker! Used to hunt them quite a bit in California. They are a tasty little bird

After researching it online, that's definitely the bird I saw. What in the hell is it doing in University Park? It's native to Pakistan. Evidently, it's been introduced here as a game bird but I can't imagine UP would be a good place to introduce a game bird. It made a wrong turn at Malaysia.
