Sure is. Often called Chinese Ring Necked Pheasant, acknowledging the bird's 
country of origin. It is not indigenous to these shores, having been brought 
here from China around the turn of the century, if my flagging memory is 
correct. It found things to their liking here and is now, arguably, the most 
handsome game bird in the Americas.
