This was taken near a redwood forest outside of San Francisco. Someone told me what kind of bird this was but I have since forgotten. I would really like to find out what kind of bird this is, so if anyone knows please tell me.
I used the high-pass filter technique to sharpen just the bird. I duplicated the layer and applied a high-pass filter and set the blend mode to overlay. I then masked the layer and revealed just the bird.

It might be a quail. They usually have that kind of plumage on their heads.
That bird is a purple-bellied, trash-diving, double-lunged, fancy-footed winged rat.
Lophortyx californica, I mean.
