I just love the colors of these little gamebirds, and was lucky to find one out in the open as he dashed across the road.

You were lucky to get a photo of one of these guys. The last pic I got of one was a butt shot. They don't hold still long. Now, would this also be a Hungarian partridge? They do look pretty much alike.:)

Yes, the same species. Hunters call 'em Hungarian Partridge, or more commonly, just "Huns". Birders call them Grey Partridge.

Hunters always seem to have more interesting names for things than birders, don't they?

They do have beautiful colors, Tom. You stopped the action and even though on the road, the environment still complements the bird.

Didn't know it showed that much. One of my favorite birds next to pheasants.:)
