[mou] Willow or Rock ptarmigan?

[R.D. Everhart]

Hi everyone-

    I haven't posted for a while but now find myself in need of some
help. I saw and photographed (not very well though) a ptarmigan in
Alaska last month and am having trouble deciding which species it is.
    I've posted 4 photos on my blog if anyone is willing to give me
some insight. Thanks in advance for any help. This is what happens
when you travel out of your home bioregion....
