Chukar Arizona? These "partridge" birds were imported into North America as a game bird. Over time they have escaped the planted bird hunting sport and are living as wild non-native birds in the region. Very interesting coloring in the face that looks like it is painted on.

The Chukar partridge

The chukar partridge, or simply chukar/Chakor, is a Palearctic upland gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae. It has been considered to form a superspecies complex along with the rock partridge, Philby's partridge and Przevalski's partridge and treated in the past as conspecific particularly with the first.
