Observation details

Long-tailed, large, long-necked bird with colorful plumage and red around the eye. First seen along road before it moved into a field. It lacks the white ring of what I think of as actual ring-necked pheasants, and also has brighter plumage on its body, so I think this is a common pheasant. Some brief research suggested to me that ring-necked and common are technically the same. Curious if this is an incorrect bird to post to ebird, though, and happy to edit/delete if so. Thanks in advance ebird reviewers.
