Appalachian grouse do come in some color phases. You will not see the gray phase of the Great Lakes region, but there are what we have always called "cinnamon phase" birds. They have a rich, red chocolate hue to their ruff and tail feathers. These have always been my favorite, I consider them the most beautiful(always been partial to red heads.
