You are probably dead on with that, while I was stationed in England I became good friends with a Game Keeper who raised Pheasant on a 5000 acre estate and I remember that color phase of a pheasant and that sounds like the name. You have never hunted pheasant until you have seen how the English do it. I use to work as a beater on weekends and push the birds to the hunters who were positioned ahead of us at shooting positons with their double barrels. My friend would allow all of us beaters one day of hunting toward the end of the season on the estate usually a day called Boxing Day. I captured some of these hunts on my old 8MM silent camera. This all took place from 1973-1976.
