Want to hazard a guess

[KCFoggin]

It's obvious the bird on the left is a female No. Cardinal. Want to try your luck at guessing what the bird on the right is? ;)

[streatham]

Carolina Wren?

[Grousemore]

Peafowl?

[Katy Penland]

Red-breasted Nuthatch?

[Bluetail]

Size, colour-tones and the short, barred tail all suggest Carolina Wren to me.

[Dimitris]

It's a mutant feathered mouse....

Just kidding :D.

It's some kind of Wren.But me have no book on American birds...
I'll just follow Bluetail and say what he sais...

[Ghostly Vision]

Littoralis Rock pipit?

Be jeebers, that's a tough one for a thicko like me.

am i the only one who can't see the right hand bird?

[James Lowther]

I think the same as dimitris, (and streatham and bluetail, tho' i wouldn't have known to guess carolina) some kind of wren (can anyone tell me how we've come to have only one (?) species of wren in the old world, when they've got dozens in the new?)

[birdpotter]

My first thought was Carolina Wren.
fun.

I do hope someone will respond to James' question, as I am also curious. I have some thoughts on the subject but would be very interested in knowledgeable response to this question on evolution. Rasmus, Tim Allwood, Jane Turner, anybody? Barbara

[fbeeldens]

Carolina wren for me.

[Bluetail]

Come on, KC, put us out of our misery! ;)

[KCFoggin]

Oh all right. It is, indeed, a Carolina wren. :)
