Whilst on holiday in the Highlands last week, on the way back from a view point near the top of Cairn Gorm, this Grouse casually strolled across the road. At first I thought it was a female Red Grouse but it isn't red in the slightest, also ruled out Capercaillie which leaves , Ptarmigan and Black Grouse. I don't think there's enough white on it to be a Ptarmigan so is it a Female Black Grouse or just a not very red Red Grouse?

This pic is to show the whole bird (pic had to be lightened as it was a bit dark)
