I'll third that.
It's a Golden Pheasant.
There's about half a dozen color mutations of the species that have emerged over the last 10-15 years or so. I think that's a Red Golden, but I'm not quite sure though due to the blurriness of the pic. ((Sure looks like the pic from dvelardi's and my included link though))

Yes, their colors are drop dead gorgeous! The male's display is rather cute too. He swings his striped neck feathers up & forward to cover his beak and stares with his green eyes. It makes me think of a Disco Dracula looking over the edge of a gold & black striped cape.
