White stocky game bird. Bill base relatively wide and no eye stripe present. Black tail feathers visible along with single rufousy feathers around collar starting to show. Additionally (in the light) red eyebrow line is apparent. Bird observed for an hour feeding on buds, walking around the roadway, and perching in low brush. Reacted little to passing car and birders from afar. Willow Ptarmigan, Point Peninsula, Jefferson County, NY
