Not a grouse. They have blunt tails like a turkey with a dark band across it about an inch from the tip. That has a sharp tail….looks like maybe a hen pheasant…..

Hen pheasant I'd say.

Where was it seen?
I'd guess hen pheasant as well

Really hard to say much with certainty from that pic.
But to me, looks like a sharp-tailed grouse

Thanks all. Yes a hen pheasant it is. I looked it up on Google and 100% hen pheasant. Rare sighting these days.
I'm in middle Tennessee. Don't want to give too much away.

Most likely a escapee from a game farm.We are seeing Pheasants around Benton county fairly often. You pay for a hunt they release them before the hunt some get away.

I'm. Sure. About 5 years ago we spotted a male pheasant about 2 miles away
There are several places you can hunt Pheasants in Middle Tn. More keep popping up all the time. Most likely one somewhere around you.

Shoot it and eat it. Probably won't make it long anyway
