Bird in tree

This photo of a partridge was taken in Baltic, I think that it is a partridge, but if not please tell me what it is.
Some fall colours taken near Selkirk, this was before the rain started.

It had being raining for a hour or more and this is what the last 2 km of trail looked like, so I was muddy to the knees again.
Overnight it was down to 2, high today was 11. Sunny in the morning and rain in the afternoon only in the east end. I drove to Mount Stewart and then cycled to Elmira with the Tip 2 Tip group and then hitched a ride with them back to Mount Stewart and logged 70 km cycling.
