[Storm-Petrel]

Dark-eyed Junco then?

[tyrannulet]

i would say house sparrow-female

[Storm-Petrel]

Wrong!!! ;)

[birderbf]

Yeah it struck me as a Dunnock too. This is ridiculous! ;)

[BirdPhotography]

Yeah it struck me as a Dunnock too. This is rediculous! ;)

Easy....just think about it.

[birderbf]

Easy....just think about it.

Thinking... coming up with a fat Black-chinned Sparrow. Juvenile Snow Butning? In a tree?!!?!

[BirdPhotography]

Wrong.

[birderbf]

Wrong.

Hint please?! I know somebody's going to pop in here and ID it easily. What am I missing?! ;)

[tyrannulet]

my mind is going blank.... ummmmm *thinks hard*... nothing... swamp sparrow?

[BirdPhotography]

wrong.

[BirdPhotography]

Hint: The first part of it's name is Gray.

[birderbf]

OK... I found, in the passerine (or passerine-like) half of Sibley:

Gray Flycatcher
Gray Kingbird
Gray Vireo
Gray Jay
Gray-breasted Jay, now Mexican Jay
Gray-breasted Martin
Gray-headed Chickadee
Gray-cheeked Thrush
Gray Catbird
Gray-crowned Yellowthroat
Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch

So I assume it's a Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch? It's the best match...

[prairiemerlin]

Hmm... I don't think this is a bird that regularly occurs in N.A.! Gray Bunting, perhaps?

[birderbf]

Sure looks like a Gray Bunting. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://avesphoto.com/website/pictures/BUNGRY-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://avesphoto.com/website/JP/species/BUNGRY-1.htm&h=290&w=412&sz=16&hl=en&start=5&um=1&tbnid=RFRryayxLtau-M:&tbnh=88&tbnw=125&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgray%2Bbunting%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D 10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26rls%3DGGLC,GG LC:1969-53,GGLC:en%26sa%3DN

I've never heard of them before. I'll strangle you both if you gave us a Japanese bird! ;) So much for "five points"...

[Storm-Petrel]

Hmm... I don't think this is a bird that regularly occurs in N.A.! Gray Bunting, perhaps?
