GPCs are overall drably colored for concealment with feathers that display a barring pattern that is buffy brown to black (Figure 1). Like all grouse, they have feathered feet. The males have prominent feathers called pinnae on their neck, a bright yellow eye comb, and a gular air sack on the side of their neck that is orange to yellow in color during the breeding season.
