Please help identify this bird.
 

Anyone know what type of bird this is? Supposedly, it is either endangered or extinct. By the way, this is for a class project due tomorrow, so any quick help would be most appreciated.

nevermind. got it

Well what is it?

oh, c'mon... you really want to know?

It's either a blue-eared pheasent, white-eared pheasent, or a brown-eared pheasent.

The instructor gave my girlfriend a picture of it (the one I posted), and told the class to find out its name. So that's about as far as we could narrow it down, being that it's a black and white picture. Dumbass instructor :D

Here's a <a href="http://www.amazingpaul.com/stamps/CHINA%20-%20Protected%20Key%20Wild%20Animals%20-%20Brown%20Eared%20Pheasant%20-%2005.JPG">link </a> to an actual picture of a brown-eared one if you're really interested.

By the way, it took us almost 3 hours to figure it out. In the end though, google prevailed!

pheasent = pheasant :)

Awwwww, thats <i>IT</i>!

I'm never coming back here again. I'm sticking to the titty board where no one corrects my grammar.. errr.. spelling! :D
