Unknown bird

Can anyone identify this large bird which was walking around my garden making a 'guk guk' sound when I git home from work? It was bigger than a woodpigeon and was a bit ungainly in flight when it flew over the hedge after spotting me sneaking up with the camera!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Yes, absolutely agree with Scroggin ... a Grey partridge
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Wow, didn't know they were around here (3m south of Leicester, 50 yards away from the A6) First one I've seen in the nearly 4 decades I've lived here! Thanks folks!
