In northern Wisconsin, most of the grouse I get glimpses of look to be of the grey phase. And the few that get in hand proof that out.
Grey birds like wind blown smoke darting through grey trees. If one gets up quiet like on some days they can make you question if that was a grouse, even when you know it was.
Back when we had grouse in SW PA most all of them were brown with some more red than others.
