According to SEEK, the genus is Asian Francolins but it couldn’t identify the species

My inexpert guess would be female or juvenile pheasant but likely way off the mark ... wait for others' comments!

Interesting. I used Google lens of the image on the screen with my phone and it came up with Grey Francolin. However, unless someone is breeding these I think it's much more likely to be a juvenile Pheasant as Wendy suggests.

I agree Game bird of some sort, just looks a little odd for a pheasant

Thanks for your answers. We wondered whether it was a juvenile pheasant that had got lost as it was a distance from a usual habitat!

We ran one over on the A65 a couple of weeks ago and I wondered what it was then. Out of the hedge and under the wheel with no intervening pause.

Hi
it's not a Ring Necked Pheasant - and it does look quite like a Grey Francolin
Game birds often escape from places in England and Grey Francolins are offered for sale by breeders
