It has a long slightly bent beak, a lighter colored chest covered in large dark spots, and its back looks darker with almost stripes on it. It has bright red near its neck, only seen when it moves it's neck. It also looks like it has a black band around its neck. Can anyone help me identify it?

The bird is alive and besides a minor bite wound appears ok. I has some of its down still left and some feathers but it cannot fly. I dont' see any nest in the area where it could have come from and if I just put back outside either my cat or one of the feral cats around will have it for lunch. I cannot identify whar it is. Its plumage anf down are black and gray anf it has yellow or much lighter color on its chest and a sort of collar around its neck of lighter down. I have a photo of it so if someone could at least help us identify it. Its in a box in my house. It's drinking some water that I mixed a little corn syrup with but it won't eat the ground corn or the mushed cat food we've tried to feed it. Can someone please offer advice.
