Help with ptarmigan

I need help with obtaining the correct colors for painting the feet and head of a ptarmigan. I have searched the archives and have to no avail found any material on this. Thank you.

You have never mounted on have you?

Pretty simple since thier feet are feathered. you only would have a orange eye brow to repair and paint. Orange is the color.

Thanks John.

Thanks John. As a matter of fact this is my first. As a matter of fact, I am waiting for a friend of mine to bring it to me. I just wanted a head start on things before he arrived with it. Thanks again.

Not much to paint on a ptarmigan

Their beaks are black, eyes are dark brown, and their claws are grey.
The eye comb is brilliant red on a spring bird, but is less obvious at other times, and paler.
