    Feather ID

    I found this pretty feather inside a falconry centre, next to an aviary holding Black Kites. However, I don't think it looks right for a Black Kite, and the only bird I can match it with is a Common Pheasant, due to the beautiful purple and amber shimmering that occurs when it's moved...
