I have taken all those varieties in the northern lake states. Maybe it is just the way the photo was taken/reflects light, but I wouldnt call that bottom tail "red". Here in the Appalachians we can get a red phase bird, sometimes referred to as a "cinnamon"phase. The tail band/ruffs are a light cinnamon red, and that one just looks black to me. There is also the chocolate phase bird--a dark reddish tail band and ruffs. May just be a regional difference, you say potato, I say potatoe. Here is what I call a cinnamon phase( Ohio bird)
