Any idea what kind of bird this is?

It has been hanging out at our new shop we built in town for a few weeks now. Any info would be helpful! Thanks!

I really don't know, but my guess, a pheasant?

That really does look like a pheasant. For him to be so bold and public like that he might be standing guard for a female who has a secret nest somewhere near.

He is a melanistic pheasant
