The spruce grouse are quite a bit darker and easy to distinguish if they're sitting. In a dark dense spruce forest it can be harder to tell if they flush and you swing around to shoot. I've thought I shot a ruffie at least once that turned out to be a spruce when I found it. In theory they prefer pretty different habitat; in reality not so much really, at least up here.
