You know, I am not positive why they are colored like that. I have shot a few like that, but mostly while training my dogs on a pheasant farm. I have been told they call them "black mutants". I am guessing that this bird got away from the hunting preserve, as I was hunting not even a mile from it. Someone feel free to answer the question correctly if I am wrong, but that is my understanding. As to how they end up black, I have no clue. Pretty cool looking birds though. Makes for a good looking bag with one of each type.
